Get out there, the minimum you can do is stand with your working class sibling. Being together rather than just sitting at home despairing IS doing something.
No, the absolute minimum you can do is sit it out and watch as people are harmed, which they advocate for. When there is no country, no democracy, no empathy, and no community, remember that people like this told others to do and say nothing.
but what is it doing?
Excuse my patronization, but I’m getting exhausted at having to explain it over and over for defeatist Americans. You have to keep up the fight even if it’s not perfect. It brings people together. It motivates people to action and become stronger as a group rather than divided as individuals. You have a country to save from the destruction and occupation by the billionaire class. There’s so many more normal Americans than there are billionaires, you all need to be in a big group to begin to realize that. If you’ve given up, the 1%ers win by default. A movement is brewing, be part of the solution rather than throwing it away because it’s not completely coherent yet. Start peacefully, take precautions as necessary, let them put all Americans on a list and prosecute you unjustly. Pre-emptive capitulation is how you all got here.
I’m not so sure that person is simply a “deafeatist American”. Their insistence, insults, and number of posts they’re putting up to discourage us from protesting tells me it’s someone with an agenda, not on our side.
you think i don’t know what’s going on? i’m trying to steer the energy towards something effective. i’m not trying to discourage resistance at all. i just want these children to wake up to the reality that massive protests just make us sitting ducks. this admin is more than willing to trample our constitutional rights.
there’s no need to walk into tragedy when we can become the one who knocks. don’t wait for the fight to come to you. assume they are the fascists. they keep telling us exactly who they are. don’t wait for them to strike first. that’s how wars get lost.
I hate to be this brash, but for fucks sake…
Throw a fucking brick.
Exactly.
or better yet, disable things. work discreetly and covertly. don’t be a target. if we’re going to be a mob, let’s act like a mob and drag someone into the streets.
