That may be true but it is important to show colors. Not just so the fascist know that there is still resistance, but also that your allies know that they are not alone.
I agree with you in principle. I just think, for the majority of people, it’s not worth the risk of getting fired and getting set back in life for public comments over a YouTuber’s death. I’m not saying there are no hills to die on, this just doesn’t seem like the one.
I said this in a reply to someone else but my issue here is risk assessment, not whether the comments are abhorrent or not. I’ve read enough accounts regarding different periods of history where citizens turned each other in. If I’m going to get fired, doxxed, turned in, etc., I would want it to be over something that means more than opinions shared of Charlie Kirk.
My point is that if something little like this will get you that punishment it is time to stand up.
I know it is scary and that people still have to much left to loose and that talk is cheap, but if you are already that scared of the consequences of something benign like this… Well you are already neck deep in shit.
How long do you want to wait?
You try to wait for a moment that feels right or not that scary, this moment will never come. It will get worse not better because people are still to focused on keeping their own asses out of the rain so the fascist have free reign.
Speaking out will cost you your job now. In due time it will cost your life.
