What is this from? Either this is a core memory from a book in my childhood or it’s just tricking that part of my brain into thinking it is.

I can think of some things like if it’s about housing, organize a tenant meeting if it’s about labour rights, support a strike fund or canvass, if it’s about an international issue, hold a fundraiser or phone campaign so politics becomes participation instead of just posting. Not that im posting anything of substance. Lemmy is the only place im communicating on and for the most part i just comment stupidity. (Edited words)

rebuilding real political capacity takes time, resources, and members willing to do slow, unglamorous work offline. The question is what concrete structures actually get people from posting to participating?

Thought that was Penn Jillete for a second

That’s souper!
