I’m talking about stuff like “there’s NOT gonna be an election in 2028” and such, and I also support optimism

          Well I actually have autism, I live in an apartment with my older sibling Jeb (who puts rules like “DON’T go outside without their permission”) - I’ve gotten used to that. What I’m looking for is stuff like slacktivism or some alternative to such.

            ah, that makes a bit more sense.

            i have AuADHD too, don’t know how old you are/how severe yours is but living on your own is part of life…you don’t have to let the routines/rules dominate your life, you can and should set/change your own.

            slacktivism just…doesnt really work. if your serious about learning/practicing/spreading socialism, your best bet would probably be looking up if your local area has a DSA branch. seeing how organized they are and what help they may need.

                what about it? as nice as talking to people online is, it is no replacement for irl interaction. especially when it comes to social/government reform…the establishment powers benefiting from the status quo want you stuck online in echo chambers feeling powerless to enact change in the real world.
