  • "FATHER: You remember? In the streets…hundreds of thousands marching shoulder to shoulder… Biggest demonstrations in HK history. The world watched it all happen. Heard our voices. Saw us bleed.

    MOTHER: So?

    FATHER: So if we stayed silent? didnt stand up for ourselves? They would say…this is how it always was. They would say…this is what the people wanted. But no. They can’t say that. Because it has gone down in history… That we resisted fiercely. That we fought for a different future…until we couldn’t. That legacy lives in us."















  • If you can afford I would get professional help. This is not something I have experience with personally but I’ve often heard of people not being able to process certain emotions so I would assume its somewhat common. A decent therapist would likely have a good understanding of how to help you navigate this.

    If you can’t afford that then talking about on lemmy or elsewhere probably wouldn’t hurt. Even if we can’t offer much advice I figure writing it out like that could probably help you process your feelings on some level






  • Nestor Makhno and his Makhnovists weren’t perfect but I think its probably the closest we’re going to get to seeing a working anarchist society. It seemed like it worked for a short time.

    Also note the mutial aid systems that spring up in the wake of some disasters could probably be considered temporary anarchist societies. Rebecca Solenit wrote a book about this but I haven’t gotten a chance to read it yet. A Paradise Built in Hell. I hear its good but I can’t say that with firsthand knowledge
