and why must everything be effective? can’t people just be kind?
it would be nice if we all got up and began fighting, but that won’t happen. and you can’t force people to fight when they don’t want to. everyone has their role though, be they silent or loud - if you’re kind, you’ll help out in one way or another
Building a mass movement doesn’t require you to jump up and start fighting or be kind, it requires you to join an organization that has a critique of capital and identify the local issues you can use to get other people on board.
Don’t get me wrong, kindness and human decency are traits everyone should practice, its just not moving the needle by itself.
even if you don’t plan on joining any organisations you do move the needle forward - if you bring up the topic of said organisation existing and speak of it in a good light others will look it up, and maybe join, maybe not - but the positive word will spread. and if many people see an organisation in a positive light, then it’s more likely they’ll join
nobody is useless, every kind person moves things forward, even if just a little, it’ll all add up to a lot

I’m not criticizing people who are quietly kind; I’m criticizing the idea that loud people should be quiet.
Yup, not everyone is gonna be a revolutionary. When the time comes many people roles will be to remain calm and be supportive.
