I am, unfortunately. Or fortunately? It depends on the framework with which you regard the issue. As a resident, I am more likely to have power to affect change. However, I’m very unenthused by the current state of my home country.
And I enthusiastically concur - logic seems to be the lowest rung on their ladder of argumentative importance.
Indeed. We are, as you say… cooked. Probably. However, illegality will not stop me from practicing civil disobedience.
I am indeed incredibly privileged. That makes it all the more important thatI stand up as an active participant and active listener.
Straight, cis, white, tall male. Doesn’t get much more privileged than that.
I will whenever possible!
The only privilege I don’t hold is capital.
But I’m certainly not the most disadvantaged when it comes to that, either. I have a steady job in a stable field.
🫡 If only every billionaire had their own Luigi….
We sure like to pretend to be, though!
What do you think the most effective way to mobilize grassrootsanti-fascist movements is?
Yeah, we certainly cannot rely on manipulable algorithmic feeds to spread antifascist sentiment. I think Bernie’s got the right idea - his “fighting oligarchy tour” is pretty impressive, and the sheer number of interested, passionate individuals showing up in deep red areas inspires a glimmer of hope.
It seems like a good first step, at least. And…. THIS is the stuff we need:
“I will attend an organizing training”
“I will host a meetinghouse party”
That right there… that’s what can save us.
Amen to that! Abso-heckin’-lutely!
I’m going to be trying to mobilize as much as possible. I’ve been consistently reaching out to folks who I think may eventually see through the veil that has been placed over them by Fox and Friends.
There are a surprising number of them that actually like Bernie - or, at the very least, respect him.
Even the right-wing propaganda machine has a hard time slandering him.
Anyway! It’s always lovely to chat with you. I’ve got to head to bed for now! The capitalist structure I am beholden to dictates that I wake up in a few hours to restart the daily grind.
Goodnight! Don’t stay up too late!
I’ll dream of productive discourse and seizing the means of production 🫡
