It’s upsetting to see stuff like this, especially as a queer person.

Really feels like we’re at this final point in US history where the Democrats and Liberals cannot stop the dam from breaking and flooding us all with a fascist takeover - so they’re pushing back harder than ever. 

But the problem they’re unwilling to address is they engineered the dam with weak points that were bound to be breached. Now they’re trying to use old bubble gum and Home Depot quick cement as a fix and it’s not really working. 

Because they don’t want to build a new dam with structural integrity, every four years they’re staving off the entire thing from collapsing.

I agree. I think there are really 4 options to respond to this. The first is accelerationism, basically making the dam collapse more quickly so that we can start to rebuild as quickly as possible. The second is doing nothing, just waiting to see how long the dam can hold. The third is incrementalism, working to reinforce the dam. The fourth is immediate revolution, using force to get enough people with better dam-building ideas to replace the people building the dam.

I am kind of curious as to which of these options the community thinks is the best tactic right now, or if there are other options that I’m not thinking about. And to clarify how I’m reading the analogy, the water is fascism, the dam is liberal policy, the builders are institutional democrats. While I think it’s essential to do mutual aid, community building, and antifascist action, the options I presented are specifically about the engagement in bourgeois democracy, at this current moment. Let me know what you guys think

Fuck it, accelerate, just get it over with. Rip the bandaid off

You're getting downvoted but I tend to agree. Revolution can't/won't be organized. Incrementaism is basically the same as just waiting it out. Accelerationism will increase the suffering in the short term, but hopefully lead to a situation where the suffering can be eliminated.

That's how I figure. No reason dragging it out
