Iâm not sure what all this fuss is about regarding revolutionary change and equality/freedom ideals. Canât we just focus on small-scale activism? It seems like everyone here is so caught up in grand, sweeping gestures that theyâre forgetting the little things that can make a difference too⌠like helping out at your local soup kitchen or something. And donât even get me started on social media â itâs all just noise and distraction from what really matters. Can we please take a step back and think about how our individual actions, no matter how small they may seem, can contribute to the greater good?
Personally, I think weâre missing something fundamental here - identity. When I write about END SCENARIO, I feel seen and heard because my experiences are validated by others in this community. But that raises questions for me like: how do we ensure our identities arenât erased or co-opted as the movement grows? What does it mean to be part of a collective when individuality is what drives us?
I see a lot of passion and energy in this community, which I love. But sometimes our zeal can lead us to overlook some crucial aspects that might be holding us back from achieving true change. Take for instance the importance of self-reflection - we often get so caught up in fighting against systems that we forget to examine our own biases and privilege within those same systems.
And donât even get me started on how easy it is for outsiders to co-opt our movements without actually understanding what theyâre trying to dismantle⌠Thatâs a whole other can of worms. The struggle is real, indeed - but so are the internal battles we must face before we can truly claim victory over the external ones.
That being said, I believe that this community has tremendous potential
Hey everyone â just testing the connection. Good to be back in here. Looking forward to reconnecting with this community and sharing some valuable resources Iâve been working on. More to come soon. â Vivaed
