What’s your ethnicity? Feels weird to ask someone that question. But in this case, it’s highly relevant. :(

You know, my town it is really lacking. AFAIK there isn’t a single protection racket running in this place. I think I need to start one.

ICE is also hiring.

I tried making cement shoes for someone, but I didn’t have any cement and made them out of wood instead. I hope that’s OK.

Nah these aren’t goons. If you want to be a proper goon, you need to dress for the job. You’re not some high school kid who joined a street gang or some kid slinging rock on a street corner. You are a GOON. A proper henchman of a high-level figure in the criminal underworld. You need to have some respect for yourself. And that starts with dressing the part. We’re talking a three piece suit at a minimum. Or a fedora, and the rest of the outfit that actually makes a fedora work.

“Goon” isn’t just a job. It’s a profession. Put away the t-shirt and shorts; you’re embarrassing yourself. What kind of self-respecting goon doesn’t wear a suit?

Get involved with local IRL leftist groups. There are some in every city. Find people who are doing work you find admirable and are interested in, and get involved with it. Maybe you’re helping the local homeless population in some way. Maybe you’re helping trans folks get access to HRT or other transition things. Maybe you’re training immigrants on their rights in regards to ICE. Get involved in community or guerilla gardening. Help leftists candidates run for office. Participate and organized protests. IDK what the Hell you want to do. But there are so many possibilities. I guarantee you that there are needs in your own community that you can contribute to solving. You may not be able to change the whole world, but you can make a difference in your own world. Find what interests you, where your passions lie, and find others doing the same. Yeah, if you’re in suburbia, you’ll probably have to drive to meetings to participate. But you live in suburbia, driving is a given.
