Large scale wins ignore the perspective of the bigger picture. You(we) need to fight every day and keep fighting. The Chris Hedges quote is right. You can't expect to win against an army as a single person, you can't possess resources to win the battle of attriction against billionaires, you can't down an international rogue government in a short period of time. That mentality is set in failure.
We have to think like guerillas and use tactics that make sense in our situation. We will more than likely have to break laws. Censorship, disinformation, propaganda, psychological operations, political correctness, changes in law, these are all the things we have to deal with that aren't physical. We will have to organize and work together, we can't be everywhere but there are those seeking to stop oppression every where.
You can't fight to just win, you shouldn't fight to win, you should fight on a moral ground, you should fight in what you believe in, regardless if you will win, because if you don't, the only possibility is defeat. Perspective, some times rather than winning we just have to make a stand, to make progress.
For me, happiness comes from doing what I believe in for people. An expression of whom I am as a person. I make mistakes, say fuck it, some times, make changes, improvise, but at the end of the day, every day...I just decided to not give up, to find something or someone to fight for...
Lastly, Caitlin, you are a hero and for me, you will never disappoint.
