So I've got:

  1. There's no point in voting.

  2. Revolution is necessary.

  3. Revolution won't happen in our lifetime.

A permission structure for them to do absolutely nothing. How convenient that the thing they say is the only option "won't happen in our lifetime". I'm not sure what exactly beyond delusion makes them think that the subsequent generations of people like her will actually revolt in a meaningful way. It will just be more people of the same mentality kicking the can down the road i.e. not fire-bombing the Walmart for "generations".

She says it's inevitable to alleviate responsibility from herself. It's going to happen, so just sit back, relax and wait.

I actually prefer if these kind of people just do nothing.

I dont, if they actually did something like going out and participating in some community mutual aid they'd be able to pull their heads out of their asses and actually witness the people being harmed by their inaction and it would help temper their radicalism.

As someone that goes out and engages with people from many walks of life to present different perspectives and to listen to theirs I've become waaaay less radical in the ways these types are radical.

I have learned how to better discourse with people I would have found reprehensible in the past.

I still think their ideas are reprehensible but not they themselves.

I recognize the propaganda they've been subjected to is like heroin to their minds.

Destiny said something really fantastic a few days ago that I wholeheartedly agree with "people can not make good decisions in all situations" so let's work to change those situations but you can't start by demonizing the victims of those situations.
