    Disclaimer: this is how long progress takes. People used to plant trees knowing they would never get to enjoy their shade.

      if the progress can be so easily undone by fascists, as we’re seeing right now all over the world, then maybe this strategy is not adequate, no?

      if you need a victory every time to maintain a steady progress, and they need a victory once to undo it all, you’re playing a game you’re almost certain of losing.

        Yep, welcome to the game. Fascists always have the advantage because it’s exponentially easier to destroy than it is to meaningfully build.

        So, are you proposing some other game, or just leaving the table?

        if… they need a victory once to undo it all

        They don’t.

      Yeah and how far has that gotten us? Why are we still dealing with issues and acting like they’re solved? Especially now, this is not viable. We’ll kill the earth before we manage to fix anything.

        We will if we keep expecting the “one weird trick”

        What it will take is coordinated action, applied consistently, not this “I’ll fix everything immediately” bullshit people keep falling for.

      Remember, everything takes forever except arms sales for genocide. That’s immediate.
