      My neighbors are being disappeared off the streets, food is more expensive and more rotted, and a little less than half my blood relatives argue for my genocide. Back when there was at least a little friction in the government against the fascist factions, it felt like there was a guarantee of a minimum standard of living that just doesn’t exist now.

          Less time for organizing. It’s hard enough to keep myself sustained. I’ve been interacting with my community less half out of fear and half out of exhaustion. Plus there’s this war that’s going to be syphoning everyone’s attention and resources now too. The revolution will be more difficult, more violent, and less likely with the new regime. I don’t think my lessened quality of life is worth whatever peace of mind non-voters get from acting like they aren’t living within the system they claim to oppose.
