We have the benefit of their example and that of 1920’s, 1930’s Germany. Everything else is on us. We can’t wait for someone else to take action. The time is now and we are actors. What will you do tomorrow to change this trajectory?
I want to understand what they did that was effective so I know where to focus. We know facts don't work. So how do we expose fascism when the folks being conned won't listen to facts?
If facts or shame cannot help these people see the truth, are we just to assume that half the country is full of hate and internalized shame. I just can't figure it out for the life of me. Willful ignorance is like a lead apron during an xray, nothing gets through.
It is not "half the country". Like I pointed out earlier, 100 million people living here cannot vote at all, then you have the 35 to 40% that are so alienated by the system they do not vote even though they could. Trump didn't even get over 50% of the vote. More people voted "not Trump"
I agree, but it's pretty even split between voters. That's the problem, if everyone voted, we know liberal policy makers would win most often. Most people like autonomy and basic Healthcare. Who knew republicans would end up the boot lickers to oligarchs 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s hard for us to grasp just how powerful the widespread, emergent effect of resentfully making bureaucrats lives harder is. If everyone using a system makes it just a little less efficient, that shit will collapse in short order. Misfile the paperwork, mislabel the signposts. Frustrate them.
If you’re not directly connected to this stuff then attending community meetings and figuring out where people are engaging in mutual aid around you can help. Every tiny little thing adds to the whole. Don’t be discouraged, be excited for your chance to be on the right side of history
I’d say that depends on what you do for work and the communities you’re a part of. If you have undocumented friends or neighbors then you can help by not making the job of ICE easier. If you work in a government role that has anything to do with this stuff, then you can just add some incompetence
