What I find among the most fascinating cultural phenomena to observe is that people believe all sides are playing fair. Many, especially among the left or liberal spectrum, think that once they've just told the right argument or elaborated on the best point, alt-right figureheads will concede and see it their way.
While it's always good to be able to explain yourself, do you truly believe historical oppression and subjugation was honest?

Justice vs Peace

Must-read article by Ian Bond on Europe, Ukraine, Russia, Trump, Putin etc. Just a quote
"The real fantasy is to believe that Trump’s erratic peace overtures to Russia can end the war on minimally acceptable terms, or that Putin will stop fighting unless forced to do so."
https://www.

Can Europe save Ukraine – and itself – from Putin and Trump?
Trump is not on Ukraine’s side, or Europe’s, but he cannot deliver peace on Putin’s terms. Rather than taking their lead from Trump, European leaders should act urgently to stop Russia’s advances and guarantee Ukraine’s security.

"Concerns around 'AI psychosis,' attachment and mental health are already growing," he added. "Some people reportedly believe their AI is God, or a fictional character, or fall in love with it to the point of absolute distraction."

Around 90% of Ukrainians believe government should be criticized even during war, poll shows: https://benborges.xyz/2025/10/17/around-of-ukrainians-believe-government.html

And if you really want to push candidates left, you do what the Black Panthers did. You provide the service you want to see so the government is forced to play catch up. If you build the world you want to see, you force the state to follow you in order to remain relevant. You make enforcing unjust laws impossible while providing the service to believe should exist. THAT is direct action that wins.
Edit: and that is also shit that will get you killed. If you want to stop fascism, you have to do the real work. Voting can only matter if it's part of a larger strategy to force the system to do what you want. Otherwise you're just legitimizing the managed resistance.

The smell of Mary Jane and broken promises filled the room. Police believe the murder was motivated by a recent YouTube video exposing Mr. Genius's DL (down low) homosexual relationship with Ron DeSantis.

The ROI of #UX is the value of your entire company, because user research is the work that determines what problem is most valuable to solve in the first place.
Trouble is, people won't believe you if you tell them this.
So the second job on top of that job is to convince people to trust us.

The ROI of UX is so massive that no one will believe you

It's also worth challenging other anarchists and leftists. A lot of the folks going to these protests imagine themselves on the same side (even when they support the systems of oppression we oppose, even when they don't get that statements like "laws are real" are defenses of fascism not a rejections of it). Liberals espouse values and fail to live up to them. How do we help them close the gap between what they say they believe and the actions they take?
After decades of telling them what's going to happen and then having it happen, now that they're finally starting to see the world we've been yelling about, how do we turn "I fucking told you" into an invitation?
People don't like to lie. Cognitive dissonance doesn't feel good. There are people who are feeling it now, people who've never felt it in this way before. How do we help them resolve it?
How do we best use this opportunity to invite people, to open up to those who've always wanted to be with us but never believed that a better world is possible?
