    At some point people are going to have to start fighting back against fascism instead of engaging in protest and elections.

      Elections alone are a total joke. Yes, they are important. But that’s an action someone does once a year or so. There is so much more that can be done.

      Other strategy talk can get very loaded and philosophical and I won’t pretend to know the answers. But I think a vital part will always remain to activate people. Critical mass is very powerful and all these people doing the bidding of a few are also just humans who can be pressured and potentially have their perspective changed.

      We need to think now. Protest is illegal. Courts are corrupted against us. Even “our” politicians would have us gassed for opposing israel if they could choose anyone to gas.

      Time to find quiet secret ways to protest.
