"nihilism is completely useless. . . the light at the end of the tunnel. . . is that there are activists making small, incremental progress on the ground, and that progress is really, really important." www.nytimes.com/2024/09/28/m...

You feel rage? Yeah, because things are so much worse than you thought they were, and you thought they were pretty bad. Then you have to work through that. Because nihilism is completely useless. The coward’s way out. So you work through that. And I have found, generally, that the light at the end of the tunnel — albeit that light might be smaller than you would like it to be ideally — is that there are activists making small, incremental progress on the ground, and that progress is really, really important.

What I really want is a comedian in the NYT telling people how to handle "nihilism" (by which is meant forms of activism that the ruling class does not approve of)
