stop fucking pathologizing despair. stop telling oppressed people not to feel sad and hopeless in the face of brutal domination. the only thing your hope doctrine accomplishes is bureaucratic pacification. if you shame people into thinking they’re only capable of acting when they feel “hopeful” and “organized,” whatever the fuck that means, they won’t do shit but internalize guilt and unworthiness, forgoing their personal agency and unique desires to the whims of the “hopeful” and “organized,” who benefit from shit never popping off cus, i mean, how could your favorite career activists go on their new book press release tours otherwise?

“Excellence is mundane. Superlative performance is really a confluence of dozens of small skills or activities, each one learned or stumbled upon, which have been carefully drilled into habit and then are fitted together in a synthesized whole. There is nothing extraordinary or superhuman in any one of those actions; only the fact that they are done consistently and correctly, and all together, produce excellence. […] there is no secret; there is only the doing of all those little things, each one done correctly, time and again, until excellence in every detail becomes a firmly ingrained habit, an ordinary part of one’s everyday life.”
