    “Self care” is libshit.

    Care for yourself like you would anyone else. Build the future in ways that build you, because you’re a part of that future, or should be. Build the future in ways that will support and heal you¹. Do not do masochist self-harm-for-daddy bullshit protests; make your point in a creative rewarding way.

    Yes, sleep, yes, take days off to vary your fucking life and roles, yes, let your community take care of you sometimes. But “self care” is lib shit rebranded treatlerism.

    ¹because there are other people like you

    Interpretation’s a bitch. Lemme play with that bitch a lil bit, if you like freedom of interpretation…

    P.S: punching Nazis is a good way to let off steam

    I’d rather take the Daryl Davis approach to converting peeps away from being Nazis, rather than some counter-effectual cathartic malarchy exercising violent power over them to drive them to dig their heels in even deeper doubling down on tooling up their totalitarian fascist authority.

    Fun that that started on feigning comradery, then straight into implanting a kind of depressing defeatism, chirps a “your seatbelt first” line after taking off your seatbelt, cryptically promotes the family and nepotism, and the idea that your delusional positivity-ninnyism takes priority over real suffering and iniquitous loss, while carrying on to feign that this message (/messenger) cares about you, and insists you stay small. Sure, burnout is no fun. But as Bucky said “It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest.” So while “we’re doing what we can”, keep an eye out for “what you can do” reaching far further. Each of us could hit upon an idea that changes the world for the better, for each and all.

    “Mental health is the most important part of your lives”

    Not food, water, shelter, security, community, or anything else that one needs to survive? Or have we made the term “mental health” completely useless by using it as shorthand for taking care of all of those things at once in some nebulous fashion?

      Yeah, sounded like a broken rearangement of maslow’s hierarchy of needs, almost like it excuses the loss (theft) of resources from each and all [attempting to get us to accept our abuse with positivity ninnyism]. … That it started implanting a depressive idea too, reads like a bit of a cult psyop.
