    If things will literally never get better, it isn’t being defeatist, it’s being defeated.

    You can’t stop the sun from expanding.

    Of course, if you concede that things can get better, even a little, then things are worth fighting for.

    Something tells me you won’t make that concession though.

      Things can absolutely get better, I can concede that. It’s just that the bad guys won, the workers of the world already lost against the forces of endless exploitation.

      I’m not going to stop fighting for everyone to be free just because of a few setbacks that happened before I was born.
