"Believe the narrative you were told"
that is literally what you are doing.
"That's the very definition of being gaslit."
Yes, you have successfully been gaslit by the people you are so afraid of.
you believe that protests are useless and activism is passivism, which is what you are exhibiting.
your head's on backwards.
"When you're ready to make a real change, let me know."
your head is in the sand, you are literally advocating for giving up your civil rights, you aren't helping anyone and there is nothing you can do to help.
All you're doing is crying about how nothing can change because you don't know how to change it.
Nope
Nope
Quite literally the opposite. I know that protesting doesn't work. How did that protesting help stop the genocide in Gaza? How did protesting help stop the over turning of Roe v Wade? Hell, both sides do it, so how effective were the years of pro life protests? No, the real way to change things is through actual political movement or violence. The pro life movement got what they wanted through decades of court packing, creating the federalist society, and years of planning. It would be a lot easier if what you wish was true, was actually true. However, the ruling class has convinced you that protesting is effective because they know it isn't.
I know you'll likely want the last word again, and you will again try to say I'm the one ignoring reality while you continue to wear your blinders and believe what you're fed. However, this is my last response here. Good luck with your protesting, I wish it was that easy. At least you'll feel like you did something so you can sit on your pretend high horse.
"Quite literally the opposite"
nope.
"the real way to change things is through actual political movement..."
bizarre that so many of you professed "naysayers" use total agreement with my original as some means of argument.
i'll take it anyway. I think that's all of you now that's come around too admitting that protesting works.
"the ruling class has convinced you that protesting is effective because they know it isn't."
All this shows is that you've been brainwashed, you literally don't believe historical fact, widely accepted widely documented historical fact.
you needed deprogramming, that's just a remnant.
you're welcome, I guess my deprogramming of you worked pretty well.
"I'm the one ignoring reality"
You're not ignoring it, you're afraid of it and are hiding from it to avoid personal responsibility.
"Good luck with your protesting, I wish it was that easy"
literally already changing the face of the nation by judicial injunction.
luck has nothing to do with it.
"... you'll want the last word again..."
not how last words work.
