The Nihilistic Purity of the Far Left Will Kill Us All

9. I dunno how to address it..

I'm despondent.

I said elsewhere in a thread created by bainsbane, that the problem is a lack of objectivity but maybe it's more than that... Perhaps the problem has been that we have no telos anymore - purpose or meaning. So now there's this need to be perpetually angry about something, so you've got your pseudo revolutionaries and rebels who will fuck things up as soon as we make progress. These types have no time for reformers who actually do the hard work in small and big ways - not just in washington, but in communities as well. I'll put some civic-aware activists under the umbrella of "reformers" we well. If said reformers or activists don't step in line with what the pseudo revolutionaries want, their efforts are disparaged creating a fracture and making coalition building almost impossible. Lesson in all this is we won't get anywhere if we don't understand power.
