@dankwraith choice as fetishised in this way always means 'choice for the rich'

"freedom of choice" is not a very useful way of looking at social/economic organization because the whole point of societal systems is that they force people into doing certain things, and the left critique is that we should organize those systems in a way that results in positive outcomes rather than negative ones. looking at existence, i don't really think individual choice meaningfully exists outside of very specific personal spheres, like i can choose what to make for breakfast in the morning or what books to read in my free time but a lot of possibilities are constrained by infrastructure and society it's basically just liberalism to think otherwise

Some of these are appropriate response to reactionary tendencies

war (good news)
Another 500 civilians were liberated from ISIL by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) alliance.

Meanwhile, major media in Sweden claimed that the town Hajin, the current claimed "capital city" of the reactionary theocratic terror-group ISIL has been fully liberated by the YPG/YPJ forces, a part of the SDF alliance.

violent repression of demo
The people protested against corruption and demand jobs and better public services.
The police shot at them with live ammunition.
Protests against the Iraq regime continue in Basra.

capitalism & burnout, long thread 11/11, the stunning finale
What I guess I ultimately want to say is: it doesn't have to be this way. For most of the last 300k years, it has not been this way.
We don't have to believe that helping others comes at the expense of helping ourselves. We don't have to be solely responsible for caring for ourselves. Capitalism is a story of isolation. Mutual aid is a story of connection.

capitalism & burnout, long thread 10/?
So in my original toot, I'm not saying that if we all self-sacrifice indiscriminately, then the world will become a better place. The way the world is, and the way human brains and bodies work, we need to withdraw, and that's okay. Given the circumstances, that is what's most healthy individually. And yes, you must take care of yourself!

capitalism & burnout, long thread 9/?
The opposite is true under capitalism. 1) You frequently need to put yourself first to stay healthy and safe, to not burn out. 2) When you withdraw from systems of aid (especially on local scales), they tend to suffer because *many* people must frequently withdraw for similar reasons.
This is a feedback loop, and it is so by design.

capitalism & burnout, long thread 8/?
Like I said, capitalism and mutual aid are antithetical. So with mutual aid, two things are true: 1) You *need* to put yourself before all others much less frequently because your community is already prioritizing you (and the rest of the community) directly. 2) You can withdraw from this system when you need to because those around you are supporting it. When you need to put yourself first, you can, without causing harm.
