@futurebird @celesteh but i will add: I will not allow this to "work" on me. And i think there might be some underestimation of quite how many of us feel that same way. We won't tolerate loss of rights, of freedoms, of dreams. Not for ourselves, nor for our kids. Yes there are days it feels insurmountable. But when you realize that's how they want you to feel... I for one go from sad to mad. And there are millions of us.

You have heard of "dead internet theory" but you probably haven't looked at the theory as originally posted. -
You have heard of "dead internet theory" but you probably haven't looked at the theory as originally posted.@futurebird @celesteh it's the same strategy as doing 80,000 terrible things all in 100ish days. It's noise to signal ratio, yes all 80k are "bad on a scale of 1-terrible" but some are far more terrible than the others and the idea is we miss things like "ooh let's think about one vote per household" because we're busy rolling our eyes at changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico. It's death by 1000 cuts and it's absolutely designed to make us feel helpless and to retreat, alone.
