i hope the suffering people in your city know who you are and that they can count on you for something in particular. hope your politics don’t only materialize online or in places you don’t live. i hope you’re doing work that antagonizes this empire’s belly. hope you’re busy.

your grasp on history, geopolitics, revolutionary theory are meaningless if you can’t talk to the people you walk past every day. if you can’t translate that knowledge into work that materially improves the lives of people you breathe the same air as.

we get off into tangents that don’t translate to any material change one way or another. two days clarifying, screen shotting to mostly strangers on the internet, meanwhile outside…shit build a debate series going city to city to holla at niggas in person.

at least then a real audience will slide and can build with whoever they agree with after.

too much pointing back in history or to another continent when discussing dialectics of struggle(which i’m not arguing we do online anyway. not enough referencing the daily costs of undisciplined action to our organizations/formations. this is all theoretical for too many of us.

@_dariussimpson I am not as busy as I'd like to be. I have done stuff here and there but nothing day in and day out except online, because I'm afraid of harming them unintentionally due trust boundary transgression. I keep asking for help about this but nobody tells me what to do.

@_dariussimpson Also I give money where I can to the homeless that cross my path, but that's about it, and it often leaves me with less than I need - not complaining about that last part though, just saying that I don't mind doing thing "polite society" may consider "irresponsible" with money.
