A genre that needs to die off is the "Fascists are doing X. Watch. Pay attention"
Fuck paying attention. Fuck bearing witness to fascism. Monkeywrench that shit.

No gotcha is ever going to matter. Stop them.

Helping people. 💪
It's not too late to plug into an activist community and start actively fighting these fascist goons with concrete, real-world action.
But damn if it isn't ALMOST too late.
But even I do my pay-the-bills work, my self care, my parenting, and about 30 hours a week of direct activism on top of that.

They're rounding up your neighbors.

Any good with online stuff? Researching, or witing or organizing info?
Meta no longer fact checks.
X is run by a lunatic.
That same lunatic may buy TikTok.
Medical research has been shut down.
People are being threatened if they don’t inform on fellow employees.
Journalists are conforming.
Are we in a new dystopian TV series?
i have more respect for someone who doesn't pay attention but feeds people than i do for someone who pays attention and doesn't do shit
What good is skepticism or reflection if it causes people to linger on the sidelines?
