      There’s a lot of people who have no faith in their neighbours anymore and have accepted that the war is lost. “We all stand together or we all fall together.” is not the motivating statement you think it is to someone who is just looking for an exit at this point.

        It’s not meant to motivate or demotivate it’s a fact of human existence. I don’t care if you have hope (but you must) I care that you fight.

          Hope for… what exactly. Be specific. “Hope” is just a meaningless shibboleth unless you define what for. Who are you asking to fight with you and what are you asking them to fight for, because the number of causes worth the effort is rapidly vanishing. Apathy may be one of the seven deadly sins, but there’s been too many rug-pulls now for anyone to have much faith that they’re not being taken advantage of again.
