Keep in mind, there are issues in life that come without any solution. Usually you either fight something… Or get used to the situation and make ends meet somehow… If you’re out of energy, it’s going to be the latter. Or you find a way to flee and go somewhere else, away.

There are a few articles written directly after Trump got elected, telling you how to manage your anxiety etc. I always recommend stoicism if you can’t change how things are. Theoretically you should at least try to change things to your liking.

There are always ways to resist, even in repressive environments. Sometimes it might not be as obvious or as heroic as what we might imagine. It might even be as simple as a nearly invisible act of non-compliance. But these things still matter. In extremely repressive countries, it’s often these small actions, when widespread, that can interfere with their power at key moments, even sometimes leading to the regime’s downfall.

We often imagine that the most effective resistance is some dramatic violent act. But real life isn’t a marvel movie. The most important axis of resistance isn’t how impactful your individual acts are, it’s how widespread and organized this resistance is.

We can’t give you specific advice because the most effective actions are specific to the context, and some forms of resistance that effective in some places may be too dangerous in others. But there are people in your country who have the answers. You just need to find them. In most countries they’re active resistance groups but if that’s not safe than any community orgs that aren’t actively supporting the regime and building independent power can be important. Finding them and supporting one another is the only solution to your problem. But be sure to find groups that respect you and your safety because some can be abusive or cult-like as well.

You’re tired because you’re alone. Many of us feel this way, but the support of allies is what will energize you and find you a productive and safe outlet for your anger. Because you should be angry. We should all be angry. Shit is fucked everywhere.

Thank you for your words. I did my best before and now I feel like I’m interested in searching if the thing you told me about actually exists.

I’d be a sucker for saying I can’t go full Luigi because I treasure my loved ones more than myself and I am afraid they’d borrow the weight of anything I do before I k-m-s. I’m no person to leave them with that publicity and that responsibility for my actions. With how my hatred flows high, my love and my fear for them is still stronger.

Remember that no regime, no matter how strong it may appear is ever able to last forever. No democracy, no autocracy, no kingdom has managed to stand the test of time in absolute. Often all it takes is a few dozen people in the correct points to set the dominoes to fall

Also remember that most (if not all) times a regime falls, the common people suffer. Don’t glorify the decay of a nation, but work to change it for the better.

I’m not afraid of suffering more if I even can, lmao, but I’m afraid if the fall happens, the power would be captured by the nazis who have overwhelmed even tankies there, and it all would go even worse.

Only downside is I don’t care about time immemorial, I’m more interested in time I’m alive and stuck in it.

I was protesting, I’m still exposuring my peers to my ideas, but at times it feels like Pu7in and his regime would outlive me. It doesn’t need to be eternal, it only needs to outlive those who know it’s all wrong and reach the point of our self-destruction as a kind, that is speeded up a lot by this country having the diertiest places in the world like Norilsk.

Too many people rely on me. People I hate are crawling in the well-defenced secret places. I can’t afford to Hotline Miamee everyone of them.

I hear you. But they keep on relying cause you keep on helping. I know I did the same for twenty five years. But it’s not good for us. Or for them.
