        Listening to the hosts of a lot of my podcasts talk about how “the next four years are going to be tough.”

        Bro, you have children and LGBT friends, are you being serious?

            That is incredibly naive. Just look at history. Fascists were always defeated by violent resistance. And nothing else.

            Those who claimed to fight them peacefully all shut up right when they got into power and only quietly showed their discontent behind closed doors, while they kept on living under the fascists. Many even came to support the fascists after it wasn’t so uncouth to do so…

            The people who were afraid of doing anything real at first, but certainly opposed fascism with their core, rose up and took arms against them when it became too much. Those were the partisans and their civilian allies in the cities and villages. And thousands and thousands died fighting the fascists alongside the Soviet communists. And that is the only thing that worked.

            Commenting on a website will never defeat fascism. If the “holy institutions” of democracy and liberalism failed, how could a silly tiny insignificant postboard succeed?

              So you want to challenge their ways by their rules!!

              I think what’s naive is knowing history, and still repeating the past’s mistakes, a revolution may have all the flashy and beautiful themes like liberty and union but if it’s not built on a solid ethical foundation then it’s doomed to repeat the pasts mistakes ( war, genocides… Etc ) even if the near future outcome is what you’re hoping for, It will all collapse… again

              I’m not referring to the act of commenting on a website as the sole method of change, this is just one tiny step, how do you think a small group of people ( some call them capitalists, billionaires, elites, whatever you wanna call them… ) are able to control the majority… It’s because they put their ideological differences aside, and They’re organizated and they plan for the future…

              What I meant by that comment is that if you aren’t on their networks of surveillance they have less control over you, think about it from a bigger perspective now, their food system, their banking institutions, their schooling systems… etc etc…

              And make no mistake, They’re not threatened by your philosophy, especially if it’s a philosophy like theirs ( uses violence as a solution ), They’re threatened by your action, try to exit their banking system and see how hard it is, try to evade Surveillance and see how hard it is… Try to be independent in terms of food and see how hard it is… you can’t do it alone, but with a group of like minded people, you have a chance
