I can't help but think that we are doing this all for nothing (swear I'm not a :fedposting:, but I need someplace to get this off my chest.)

Look around the internet, hell look around real life. The idiot masses are all mindlessly genocidal against non-whites, queer people, non-Christians, women, even the flora and fauna of the earth, you name it. They hate peace and love and think it's lame. If you survey most Americans, they LOVE nazism and LOVE fascism.

Look at all the mass shootings and hate crimes. Literally EVERYONE except us laughed at it and celebrated it, from Christchurch to Buffalo. People overwhelmingly vote nazis into office because they love nazism. We are going to go extinct from climate breakdown because everyone chose to pollute to "LE EPIC TROLL!" So while fascism is objectively evil, it is still the most in touch with humanity's innate evil nature.

If I were to defend myself, or any other group being targeted LITERALLY for no reason, they are all-powerful and omnipresent so I will be annihilated before I even speak my first word against them. It's considered okay for them to hate me for fun, but everyone calls foul when I return the favor. Also, there is NOTHING that conservatives are insecure about so I can't even so much as hurt their feelings. All I really can do is keep my head down and just take it for these monsters and hope they are sated before they consider physically hurting me or redacting me, and getting away with it because everyone loves them and loves fascism. I am alone in this world.

We are going to die of some genocide of climate breakdown because it makes 99.99999% of humanity happy, and there is nothing we can do about it.

    Looking around in real life I don't really agree with you. The vast majority of people don't laugh at mass shootings or do "LE EPIC TROLL" pollution outside of niche online communities. I don't know anyone who celebrates hate crimes and if I did I would immediately cut contact with them.

    Most people are not fascists. Fascists just push this narrative that everyone secretly agrees with them but are afraid to say it, but it's not actually true. Which is why they need to make up stories about stolen elections etc., when their people can't even beat neoliberal ghouls that are almost universally disliked.

    There's a pretty large percent of people with awful political views, sure. Some of it due to constant propaganda and some of it because they're just shitty people. But way more people are just apathetic as they go through their daily struggles, since they can't influence politics anyway. Like 95%+ of people have no idea how our political and economic system work anyway (per intention of the ruling class) and can't actually make informed decisions about politics.

    Also, there is NOTHING that conservatives are insecure about

    Extremely untrue. The conservative middle class is terrified that they have lost, or are in the process of losing, their societal privileges and are becoming the new victims of capitalism. Fear is their primary political motivation.
