I've never seen a population more united. If people can hold onto that unity, if people can accept that different people will have different ways of confronting fascism, if we can remind NGOs and orgs that they can join but not control the resistance, then, well, people here will write history.

HRT does have dangers, though. Like it’ll make you want to keep living, forcing you to do stuff like *shudders* come up with a ten year plan or clean off pile full of clothes chair

I find it really difficult to recover from the shame of working homelessness. Even though my career now is in system-level work (with "lived experience") the narrative that I just made bad choices sits deep in my chest. Seeing discussion like this is an antidote & reminder that I'm not alone.
Positively shocked that the house magazine of the Manhattan Institute is upset that my book refuses to attribute America's record-high homelessness to "personal choices"—rather than, say, rents outpacing income gains by 325 percent since 1985.
“There Is No Place for Us”: A Sympathetic, but Skewed, Portrait of the Working Homeless
Brian Goldstone’s new book downplays the role of personal choices.

every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown"
and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work

Starting in Milan, in 73, revolutionary groups would mass up, go into supermarkets and chase out the bosses/security, get on the loudspeaker and declare everything free. They would then make revolutionary speeches while shoppers gleefully enjoyed the discount. They called this "proletariat shopping"
