Fascism is nothing more than the bully mentality writ large. He is a bully but a bully is no trivial thing. They're the absolute scum of humanity.

Trust me, you don't want our drama. You're always welcome to annex me personally, though.

I don't think it makes any resistance futile by any means. I just think the "just start blasting" attitude I keep seeing from people is naive, glib, and unconstructive. Guerilla resistance can absolutely be a powerful tool, but it requires a huge amount of coordination and solidarity that doesn't really exist in our population right now and is not going to suddenly begin existing overnight.

The most important thing people can be doing right now is networking and organizing, identifying likeminded people and building community with them. This is the foundation of ANY effective resistance. And people ARE doing that.

Interesting theory.

My point is stop saying people aren't doing it when they are. Everywhere. Every single day.

Do you think Trump is trying to declare attacks on Tesla dealerships domestic terrorism because people are staying home on the couch?

You're acting like because we haven't seen instantaneous results, we must just all be doing nothing. If you have spent as much time protesting as you claim, you know that protest movements need to be long and sustained and also often need to gain momentum over time. You won't get a million people in the streets overnight.

I already have/am. Is fascism over yet?

People are protesting, my guy. Your original post scoffed at the idea that these protests could be effective. You called it "occupying a sidewalk" and were calling on us to just start blasting. Don't move the goalposts.

You've been wasting a lot of time here already. A little more won't hurt. Come on, big guy. Tell us all how it's done.
