    No one is saying to give up. The fact that you hear “stop wasting your energy trying to solve things in ways that are controlled by the people profiting from the problem” and interpret that as “give up” tells us all exactly how engaged you are with anything that actually might make a difference.

      Your lack of reading comprehension tells me exactly how much you think.

      My point being: ‘give up’ is what some people, who would otherwise be our allies, are hearing. Stop telling *them* to give up.

      You won’t make more anti-capitalists by squashing the people who see the problems and want to solve them just not in your way. That only accelerates us towards the fascism you claim to be against.

        The actual point being that nobody who hears “give up” when they’re told to stop wasting energy on the “solutions” provided by the people who don’t want the problem solved will ever be an ally until they first stop giving oxygen to the non-solutions. Until then they are an adversary, not an ally.
