      I know it’s hard but giving up is not really an option, especially for women, LGBTQ+, minorities, and the working class…

        What can we do that will make a difference?

        The article talks of gathering in the cold streets to rile up our energy. All of which will do shit to change policy.

          Protest, get more aggressive, don’t give up on your rights.

          Do you have a protest near you? No? Make one.

          Do the protests not help? Make them more disruptive, block roads, make fires, fight.

          Sadly, at some point, it might go from protest to actual fighting \ civil war, but some wars are worth fighting.

          I get that it is scary and dangerous, some people understand that they might not have much more to lose, some still stand to lose a lot before feeling cornered, but if you don’t fight now, you might just have to fight alone later.

            Um, I just think that will build more support for the fascists. Besides, I think many fascists want the left to be disruptive (doesn’t even have to be violent per se - remember how they got so upset at traffic being blocked that they want it to be LEGAL to murder people that block traffic), so it gives cover for Nazis to get even more violent, and then have donvict declare martial law.

              There is a line to walk, not disruptive enough and you are ignored, a bit more disruptive and you are considered, too disruptive and you are villainized, past that you are taken seriously.

              If they don’t want to consider you, you have to make them, even more so when they are violent fascists.
