    This. Freaking thank you.

    I called my reps to tell them to oppose the slew of bad Internet bills (badinternetbills.com) and even something so simple felt like I had to make myself an appointment to get around to it.

    And it turns out I should be calling a lot more often. Oh boy.

    Working class folks must struggle excessively to even be civically active while managing a ton of responsibilities domestically. That’s why you mostly see old people at local government stuff.

    And these keyboard warriors are talking crap because we’re not forming militias and running weeklong campaigns against the secret police.

    I really wish direct action was a lot more exciting but while we’re fighting for our rights, any number of dozens of private institutions are waiting eagerly to punish us into the pavement for missing payments.

    Yeah this system needs to be rebuilt from scratch, but this is what we’re working with right now, and it sucks!
