FAQ

Q: why not organize and stop treating the bus as a legitimate entity? why aren’t you working to stop the bus?

A: do both. cut the fuel line. break windows. put oatmeal in the gas tank. but maybe your efforts don’t succeed this election cycle. and if so don’t fucking throw away your vote if it can help your neighbors fucking survive. “harm reduction” is not a political strategy for action. it is a last minute, end of the line decision to save lives, after all other resources have been exhausted.

Alright, so what do you do to overthrow the system then? Nothing, that's right. Screw you.

Oh okay, sorry, I had a whole political activist strategy that takes local action and builds on that to make people's lives better and eventually put serious pressure on the overarching system, but since you said "nothing", I guess the answer is "nothing".

I mean you're wrong, but you don't sound like you want to hear the real answer.
