New rule: Suspect and distance yourself from anyone who says, "you're only voting/volunteering/donating/canvassing/protesting/contacting representatives, etc. iT's NoT gOiNg To aCcoMpLiSh AnYtHiNg!". Yeah, doing nothing and trying to get others to do the same is the only way to guarantee nothing changes!

People who say "do nothing" are full of shit, but there's some merit to "we need to escalate yesterday". Getting swept up in the tide and not noticing where you actually stand is the second-worst thing you can do, the worst of course being not doing anything.

fuck off with that shit. some of us see that more direct action needs to be taken. you can pussyfoot around all you want to. i don't have to agree with it.
