What the actual fuck. How much farther does this fascist piece of shit have to go before people realize we will not vote our way out of this mess and the only chance we have to stop this madness is to put our lives on the line and fight for what is right. Not just posting about it, or going to marches supported by the controlled opposition party funded by the same billionaires who fund and support this demagogue. Polite non violent demonstrations do not threaten the power structure while they continue to violently suppress any meaningful change. We are at least 5 phases into the same journey of fascism Germany underwent almost a century ago. And everyone is too fucking worried about mowing their lawns, working for garbage wages at jobs they mostly hate and watching their favorite TV shows to face the reality of what is actually happening.
When we’re still asking the question “why?” we’re stuck in disbelief and denial about the reality we’re in.
1/3 of the country is aware and cares, but is too atomized and disempowered to act meaningfully. 1/3 are too comfortable and attached to their slipping consumer entitlement to take risks for the sake of anyone else. 1/3 have channeled their entitlement and/or immiseration into enthusiastic support for what’s happening.
I’m with you, but the reality is that the majority of the country would shake their heads and go back to watching Netflix rather than do anything while you’re being dragged to the camps.
