1. You feel powerless? Don’t know what you can do to resist the rise of fascism?
Here is an answer: Good Things.
Fascism inflicts pain and harm as a matter of doctrine.
Kindness, care and conviviality defend us from it.
The more we build community, the less it can take root.

Those who supported, excused, outright lied about what Starmer & co were doing to the Labour Party are also to blame for where we find ourselves now.

The media rounds on these benefits cuts are really causing me anxiety. The language used about us not dissimilar to that of Nazi Germany.
I feel like they want to destroy us, starve us out.
Post war Fascists were the reason why my amazing aunt carried half a brick in her handbag, we want to be left alone, they want us dead
I wish I knew how to fight back.
It doesn't really matter which topic you start with.
Enough.

The world needs people like you to remind us that kindness and compassion can be use positively to protect our own mental health from the onslaught of evil actions we see and read about every day from so called world leaders.
Seeing half a dozen counter protestors at the other end of the road with Ukraine flags etc gave me an enormous sense of relief. I'll be joining them next time.
YOU HAVE BROKEN THE SOCIAL CONTACT.
TAX MILLIONAIRES NOW!

Please repost to oppose these murderous planned cuts✊️✌️💞
Also many of us have never had a paying job, and are just as entitled to social security as those who have.
• millionaires do pay tax on income
• national insurance covers people unable to work —it could cover more, but it exists
You're saying you paid tax and the government breached contract; they didn't.
(Yes, benefits administration in the UK is shocking, and people were let down.)

Yes, I'm being idealistic and naive, but something's got to change..
Read it folks, don't be overwhelmed by bastards.
The difference between humans and other primates, is that _in the majority_ we have empathy and altruism.
Don't let the sociopaths,
_in the minority_
take over your neighbourhood.
Division is what they want.
They are few and we are many.

“The system doesn’t work any more,” he says.
But people find it easier to imagine the end of the world than something that’s a credible alternative to capitalism."

It takes guts to be gentle and kind

PS Planning aims at good stuff being built & not bad stuff.
You already possess a fascism-killing machine. It’s called a good heart.
Unfortunately, we keep electing them to represent us.
*They do not represent us*.
It doesn't have to be hard or expensive, but do something *kind* for a stranger, if you can -- put a $20 down at a coffee shop and pay for the next person, for example.
a. improving our scepticism and understanding of how manipulators operate.
b. being as unlike them as possible: confidently asserting our kindness and empathy.
Especially towards those being kicked blue by fascists, such as refugees.
"We have more in common than that which divides us."
650,00 but the Conservative & Unionist party has only 120,000 members. The Daily Mail's circulation is 676,000 which means theyve missed a few

just the most despicable con artists in british politics.
Now, I feel like I did 30 years ago. Hoping not to be consumed in this growing darkness.
If you see this and are able to, please pass on the thanks from many of us around the world to those volunteers who have recreated the Centre for Disease Control website.

*Maybe* being nice to each other isn't sufficient.
