I think I’m having a bit of an autistic burnout moment over politics. I’m moving a lot more left over the years but just don’t feel like I can do anything. I have 2 years left on a work contract and it would be killer to lose that job, but also I want to help people in ways where quitting might be the best option. I want to learn about politics and history more, but I also don’t want to stress about it because I don’t feel like it changes things that much. Id like a community that talks about these feelings and I feel like this should be that community for me. Let’s just chat about it.
Yes! Look less at the big and far stuff you can’t change and give more energy to the local where you might be able to make an impact
“All politics is inherently local” is a phrase I have heard around a lot, but honestly now it is starting to make a lot more sense than it did before.
