Welcome to 2019

2019-09-19 19:14:56 UTC  

Ragnorak is happening again and nothing can stop it

2019-09-19 19:15:18 UTC  

Antifa etc, it's something to make you feel like a rebel on the weekend before you go back to serving coffee at starbucks and listening to shitty indie music and vice versa

2019-09-19 19:15:23 UTC  

that's true yeah

2019-09-19 19:15:34 UTC  

which is why i look back on the era when that wasn't totally the case

2019-09-19 19:15:38 UTC  

Something to make life not feel so dead

2019-09-19 19:15:46 UTC  

reactions to alienation 😎

2019-09-19 19:15:55 UTC  

antifa is useless now

2019-09-19 19:15:59 UTC  

so are most activism movements

2019-09-19 19:16:02 UTC  

NSM, so on

2019-09-19 19:16:14 UTC  

you're right, yeah
but that's all the more reason to change it

2019-09-19 19:16:17 UTC  

Movements come and go

2019-09-19 19:16:32 UTC  

hardly

2019-09-19 19:16:43 UTC  

The ideas people follow today weren't any more noble 80 years ago

2019-09-19 19:16:49 UTC  

every movement around today is the result of a predecessor

2019-09-19 19:16:51 UTC  

The people following simply changed

2019-09-19 19:16:57 UTC  

of course not, that's not the question

2019-09-19 19:17:10 UTC  

alienation was simply less prevalent then

2019-09-19 19:17:24 UTC  

i'm not the 'good old days' type, though it may sound that way

2019-09-19 19:17:51 UTC  

antifa then was an antifascist organisation

2019-09-19 19:18:09 UTC  

now it's defanged, declawed, and thoroughly meaningless

2019-09-19 19:18:16 UTC  

punching nazis doesn't do jack shit

2019-09-19 19:18:27 UTC  

People don't know what they believe in, the only difference is it had more influence back then and actual people to fight against

2019-09-19 19:18:43 UTC  

It's something to do to feel like your not irrelevant

2019-09-19 19:18:44 UTC  

these aren't revolutionary movements that we see

people know what they believe, it's just difficult to draw it all together at times

2019-09-19 19:18:49 UTC  

"I'm having a difference!"

2019-09-19 19:18:54 UTC  

sometimes, sure

2019-09-19 19:18:56 UTC  

"I knocked a nazi out!"

2019-09-19 19:19:09 UTC  

but differences can be made, though i agree in the sense that these groups aren't doing so

2019-09-19 19:19:14 UTC  

it's gratification, nothing more

2019-09-19 19:19:55 UTC  

No they don't, even if you find an educated person who isn't entirely indifferent they can likely be convinced to change their beliefs

2019-09-19 19:20:14 UTC  

Provided they aren't radicalised, you mean

2019-09-19 19:20:26 UTC  

Beliefs don't matter, they never did

2019-09-19 19:20:36 UTC  

Actions are the important part

2019-09-19 19:20:43 UTC  

It kind of touches on what I said before

2019-09-19 19:20:58 UTC  

In my experience most people who believe extreme ideologies have shitty lives

2019-09-19 19:21:12 UTC  

poor quality of life provokes radicalisation

2019-09-19 19:21:14 UTC  

They need a radical solution to fix their situation

2019-09-19 19:21:31 UTC  

but for the most part these people do a lone wolf shooting or just sit online whining

2019-09-19 19:21:37 UTC  

the vast majority of people are indifferent

2019-09-19 19:21:55 UTC  

maybe they'll dress in black and go to an antifa event one weekend to own nazis
