One of the saddest fates of activists is that sometimes you can get frozen in time.

One of the saddest fates for activists is that sometimes you can get frozen in time. The tools and players and platforms and fights all shift like sand under your feet and you're still working like it's 2003 or 2013 or 2023 and you might as well be yelling at clouds.

@evacide yeh, but you've gotta keep going, because no matter the activist fads, until a problem is solved people need to make noise about it

@sortius If you want to be effective, you need to understand the landscape we are in right now and it has changed a lot. This is not a subtle dig at other activists. This is just my own effort not to get trapped in a world that no longer exists and to make pragmatic decisions based on where we are now.

@evacide It's one of the age old things in activism: do I change to fit the times, or are the times wrong and we need to change.
Just take heart that there's activists, especially in environmental fields, who plugged away at shit for decades, ignored the zeitgeist, and achieved results

@sortius Even if your goals stay the same, often the tactics need to change.

@evacide Surrounded by people in your life, or communities, that say things like "why bother?"
It's depressing.

@evacide the adaption i found interesting was activists buying lobbyists. Not sure how i feel about that though. Lobbyists will be put on the rocket to the sun along with the politicians, economists and lawyers.

@Gh0stlyM0use I can't afford to buy a lobbyist.
