You work within the system until you can get the change you want. By throwing your hands up you...ugh why even bother.

are you getting the change you want by working within the system?

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Between giving hot stone mssages to far right zionists, kicking anti-fascist student protestors in the face, finishing my biography on saint Joe Biden, calling la migra on my neigbors, polishing my glock, fracking in my back yard, and pissing on progressives even though I support all their policies, I barely have time to lick stamps to send my campaign donations to the dnc. I'd like to think I'm still a model democrat though.

If you can't get necessary change by working within the system then you must work outside it and replace it.

100% agree with you. But I would counter and say changing it from the outside/replacing it is a last resort as it will lead to complete instability while things get sorted - this is exactly what Putin wants.

The US is the world's main exporter of death and destruction on the Global South, instability in the US would do the majority of the world a massive favor. Putin would probably rejoice, sure, but so would all the nations in the Global South.
