A family that may not exist once the Nazis have carte blanche.
That word “may” is the weak point of the argument. In contrast, a family will not exist if they don’t eat.
The fact is money is like oxygen it’s how we sustain our lives. You may be familiar with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, basic needs (the kind that money provides) are at the very base of the pyramid, the most important. This Nazi takeover falls under the very next category, “safety and security” and it also effects some other tiers up top as well. So to be clear, I’m recognizing the importance of this issue, it’s extremely important without a doubt. But the basic needs are still the basic needs.
With that in mind, I absolutely defend and support the strategy of participating in activism on the weekend and then going back to work on Monday. That is nothing but rational.
If you go home after one day then you achieve nothing.
This is just naive. Building something important takes time. You know that expression, Rome wasn’t built in a day? Well that’s barely even a metaphor here; if you want to build a new United States, a more functional, less corrupt US without all the fascism and corporate control, well that takes time. And again, in that time it takes to make those changes, you need to continue living, continue filling those basic needs.
I went to the no kings protest and honestly I think it was quite successful. It was a show of force, a demonstration of pure numbers. It was a good step, and more will be achieved.
Believe it or not, I have. Nothing to do with No Kings though

Hah. Yeah, I’m certain of it. It’s pretty clear.
I’ve never seen so many words say literally nothing.
