Well Quaz, you’ve taken the first steps beyond aimlessness already (obviously). And you also seen the main feature of the gored ox cults — they’re motivated. More motivated that you or me. There is no shortage of steps remaining to be taken. For instance, recognition of Native American genocide, white colonial land-grabbing & treaty breaking is not anti-farmer per se — it doesn’t pretend to function as a time machine that magically restores some kind of Native American status quo anti. Plus, any contrary rhetoric can only do harm to both Indian & farmer. But electing an official who’s pro-farmer AND has a sense of history can be good for everybody. Forming a unified opposition requires a LOT of this kind of rhetorical reframing in a LOT of areas…along with finding viable candidates who can & will walk the walk as well as they talk the talk.

OR…we can just play along with this white nationalist bullshit till it eats our lunch. To a lot of people, skipping lunch is easier, neater and less uncomfortable than killing, cleaning & plucking the chicken.
