Please explain to me slowly because I have never read a political science book of any kind: how does threatening power structures through personal independence stop the Palestinian genocide?

Okay, so you don't believe in representational democracy. I'm not surprised that if you can't be bothered to vote then you can't be bothered to influence who you get to vote for.

What's a realistic way to build these alternative structures? How do these alternative structures work such that your local needs are met and the genocide in Palestine gets stopped?

The way out of a death spiral is not directly into oblivion. It fucking sucks that genocide is in the category of really important things that need addressing but it is not in the category of things that can be addressed in this particular election.

The electoral path is not at the ballot box every four years at the presidential level. It's down the ballot and on the other the years. It's building political capital for the cause you believe in by showing usefulness to the people seeking or holding power and talking to them about the issues you care about. Volunteer for your local house candidate and talk to people in their campaign about how important it is to you that they don't support genocide, urge them to vote against arms shipments and denounce settlements. Tell your representative how you want them to vote and get other people to do the same.

Working to get people elected gets them to listen to you, that's why there's so much money involved in elections.

Tucker is on record that he wants a government that loves him like a parent and takes care of him

If we just let the fascists win then we'll be able to usher in a socialist paradise! What's unclear about that to you? Read a book! /s

It's like attack dog training for larger dogs where there's a person in a big padded suit that the dogs can bite and hang onto. But small because weiner dogs
