but I think you are just being a 'useful idiot'. The entire political machine is hopelessly corrupted and is nothing but the illusion of a choice meant to pacify us into inaction. I know that a lot of people intend to 'change it from the inside' and I wish you luck... but the fact that you donate to PACs means you are still feeding the beast. Best of luck but my assumption is that you are just being drawn in to a purposely hopeless cause that is crafted to absorb your efforts and energy while not changing a single thing.
I've heard this multiple times from old timers. They've lost faith in the system. I know they are right. But I'm going to try while I'm young. At least until I burn out.
Also, I participate in two PACs, not donate. I am the 'PAC." Make sense? Myself and dozens or hundreds of others participate in these PACs. We lobby, write letters, send e-mails, organize events, etc. I have a "cute" t-shirt from the charity event we did last year, for example. Not all PACs are about transferring money.
They've lost faith in the system
You hit the nail on the head on that one. Over the last several decade I have become hopelessly black pilled. I can no longer see the light. I am not radicalized because I have a family. Fear for their safety keeps me a recalcitrant but obedient slave.
I think there's a chance we can break the system by disconnecting from it as much as possible and completely leaving all metro areas establishing breakaway movements in areas where it's much harder to consensus crack. We can force their hand and move into the next phase of this shit show which will be where the actual fight takes place. Once you realize the destruction of the system is not only inevitable but necessary the black pill becomes a white pill.
