    If nothing else, the BDS strategy of finding one company that is particularly egregious and getting everyone to boycott that one (even if other companies also fulfill the criteria of being unethical in some way) is actionable. Getting people to recognize that all of capital pushes the state into fascism is not necessarily going to lead to any actionable conclusion. The point isn’t to get everyone to be correct about every little thing, it’s having people who are correct in their ideology guide the people who are correct in their feelings.

      Yeah I see that now. Thank you.

      I think one of the ways my autism comes out is just like, not understanding neurotypicals? (No shit, huh? (Also I hate that language but whatever)) And in moments like this, where something is just so painfully obvious to me — something I’ve been shouting about for literally my entire life — it makes my brain hurt trying to comprehend how people can’t or won’t see it.

      Like, I used to labor under the assumption that all people believe, as you said, that capital pushes the state into fascism, but that everyone was just willfully complicit. Then shit like this happens and I’m like, “oh wait… yall like, really thought corporations were like… okay?” I dunno, does that make sense?

      Sometimes I just feel really alien in this world and this is just one of those moments.

        Oh, yes. Now I totally get where you’re coming from comrade. I have felt the same, way to often. One day they’ll get it. Revolutionary optimism and all that. Care-Comrade
