Rethinking this: Nationwide small-scale protests in fall/winter 2022 is kind of a similar thing in the sense that ending the core national policy of zero covid was the result of united-but-not-coordinated nation-scale collective action

A final contradictory bit: living in the US, I saw elections as a really effective tool for state control. This is still true, but the large-scale, non-predicted collective decision making about ~national affairs~ is pretty impressive & obviously different from the situation here

This is basically where the US seems to be at, in the sense that party loyalty is done and/but people remain invested in electoral politics as a primary, increasingly-failed way to express their displeasure with The State of Things. Bad time to invest in DSA IMO.

Actual results aside, it does not seem healthy for a country to swing to radically every two years. Horrendous for any long-term policy.

This is the first big-ish election I've watched from China, which changed some of how I've been thinking about it. Generally I think posting about elections is kind of unbecoming & I'm still an anarchist but I do think there are some important takeaways.

On one hand I think that in the future you can probably stay like "above the API" by just being serious about whatever your thing is (considering how deeply unserious people seem to be everywhere). On the other hand, it seems like this may be a good way to get thrown out a window
