If you're going to try to build radical resistance and cultivate radical action, you're gonna have to get off of fucking Instagram. I literally don't know how much more bluntly to put this: you are excluding vital wisdom and energy from your so-called movements when you refuse to move off of fascist-captured platforms. "But we need a wide reach and that's where people are!" Listen to me. Listen. The people you want are not on Instagram. The people with decades of actual radical experience, whose knowledge you could HUGELY benefit from, are not on fucking Instagram. They may be scattered, they may be burnt out, OR they may be working channels that are inherently closed to you because you are on fucking Instagram. The people who will actually make commitments to your movements are not on the mindless click-scroll algorithmic trashfire of fucking Instagram. To make real, actual, possibly very powerful connections, you will need to get off of fucking Instagram. And there's another thing. Stay with me here. Getting off of fucking Instagram is PART of the struggle. Forming connections and finding ways to reach people outside of the fascist internet is literally part of what you should be doing right now. Get. Off. Of. Instagram. Holy fuck.
