Yay, Anark. He does great work. I as of so far feel my rage is eternal, however, I believe the “fuel” that drives the stalwart revolutionary is love. Love for our fellow peoples that are being mistreated and abused, love for the people that will be, and love for the people who have tried to make positive impacts in our life or others lives. In my experience, hope is easy to kill in the face of absolute lack of reaction from the world. I personally have no hope. Maybe that’s just the voidpunk in me. I think humanity is definitely going to die horribly before we’ll ever actually crush capitalism. I really believe the capitalists would so much rather us all suffer and die as quickly as possible than for their profits to even just dip in their lifetimes, primarily because of the climate crisis being as it is. It along with AI kinda made me decide we’re just statistically fucked. I fight still for those that I love, because they deserve that fight, even if it has literally no effect (though that’s rather unusual). I believe that is called “an inexorable force” and may be the best way to attain permanent revolution. I think the feeling that there is no hope does actually keep a lot of people from action. Maybe we shouldn’t rely on just it. Further, maybe it is why our anger tends to hurt us more than help us. If our anger is predicated just on our actually making change, it can’t be strong. That’s like… gambling. It depends on an idealized outcome of random variables. If our anger is predicated on already established feelings of love for people that have already been hurt, it seems very unlikely to go anywhere as long as people are still being hurt.
