Hopelessness is manufactured. Hopelessness is part of Neo-Liberalism.
They want you to believe there is no hope and no possible alternative.

I personally care about unfairness in sports. I want you to experience hopelessness every time your team plays mine.
"don't you care about fairness in sports?" No actually, I don't. Nobody does

What can you do?
Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness.
Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up.
Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards.
Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies.
Resist. Stand with others.

Defeatism is exactly what Trump, Vance, and Musk want us to feel.
They’d like nothing better than for us to give up, so they can have it all. Cynicism and hopelessness play into their fetid hands.
Keep up the fight.

The hopelessness is a big fire alarm.
It has the same vibe as Mangione’s: no one else is doing anything, and someone has to. He has well thought out moral underpinnings for why he’s doing it even if his conclusion about *what* he must do is wrong.

The first step to beating back hopelessness is getting involved.
notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

For Whitefolk, this is the first time many have felt this politically hopeless.
Hope is White intergenerational privilege—hopelessness is Black intergenerational trauma.
White hopelessness is cyclical, ours is structural. What they see as deviation, we know as its norm.

The opposition thrives on your hopelessness, hoping you will give up the fight. But no rigged system is permanent. History shows that authoritarianism always fails when enough people simply refuse to back down.
