    If you can’t even bother to stand around to protest, how tf are you supposed to get people to do more extreme actions when the time such drastic actions are required comes around? Your apathetic response to protesting will only lead to a more fractured society that cannot attempt any meaningful resistance to the fascist in the white house.

        People who are serious doesn’t balk at the idea of protesting. If you can’t even bother sacrificing time to sit around to show people that its safe for them to come fight against fascism, there is no way you’d have the guts to sacrifice your life to actually fight against the fascist when the time comes. It’s probably better if you just sit at home and don’t bother talking about fighting or protesting. At this point, you’re more of an asset to the fascists than anything, even if you didnt know it yet.

            Can you even read? I said your type of action is what will result in protests being ineffective at uniting the people that will fight against fascism.

            People failing to remove fascism a year from now will only prove me right if you still decide to continue what you’re doing. To prove your point, you would need to join up with the protest and stop trying to kill it in its infancy and still fail to remove fascism.

            So go ahead and continue what you’re doing and you might prove me right.

              if the people don’t have the spine for what it takes, then it’s hopeless.

              have you ever considered that a lot of these people are going to feel defeated after they waste their time protesting and nothing gets accomplished? there’s no guarantee that getting a bunch of people together for feelgood BS leads to more effective resistance. this is the same as saying “just go to college and follow your dreams and everything will magically work out”. it’s a lie. people need to understand where western civilization is at.
