Alt-text: Protest can be organized through social media, but nothing is real that does not end on the streets. If tyrants feel no consequences for their actions in the three-dimensional world, nothing will change.

You can’t fight a fascist takeover of your country from your couch. I know it’s not the American way, but you have to go out and change it yourself.
Why? Seriously.
It’s probably the best way.
Please truly explain to me why. What are you saying is the winning strategy.
I think it really depends on who you are fighting and what you are trying to accomplish.
Personally, I feel Congress is to blame for much of this mess. they could end all of this tomorrow. Congress doesn’t give 2 shits what I post online, so its a waste of my time to change their mind online.
In short, pick your goal, then choose your strategy.
I don’t really know what to say other than you’re wrong. Like on so many levels. The whole system is literally about representing people and people create demands based on culture. Culture identity and public opinion is the root here. It’s why there’s so much attention by powerful people to control it. The left is really showing how ignorant they are to basic concepts here.
And how do you propose we change culture when we can’t afford to purchase twitter or tiktok to sway public opinion?
What im proposing is a grassroots movement based on community.
That’s insane. How do you propose a grassroots movement in real life when you can’t even muster that online. How does that make and sense to you. It’s like you’re building a fire and asking me why don’t I start with the huge logs instead of the kindling. I’m just honestly frustrated the reasoning and logic of it all because I know so many of you feel that same way. The left are behind the times.
I swear to god, people like you deserve to lose your democracy.
There’s no collection of spineless wombles quite like the American left.
No you’re wrong and always have been. But most are like you and that’s why the left is where they are now. You’re socially and politically confused about how you accomplish your goals. There’s another user saying you gotta go light buildings on fire. The left is done because of people like you
Because they’re raiding work places and dragging immigrants off to concentration camps. And you think the appropriate response is posting memes on Facebook? By the time you’ve gotten a like emoji your neighbours are already in the back of a black unmarked van.
Communication on the internet is an important factor, but you won’t defeat fascists with a Tiktok video. That time is passed. You need to organize and gather in the streets to shut the economy down.
Yes, are you insane. As you just said, they’re illegal disappearing people. How are you so ignorant to the idea of anonymously bringing awareness to these things. How the hell are you going to convince people to help you while you’re standing in a street in Wisconsin while a boot is on your face. You need to meet people where they are. That is online
Okay and what does awareness do? What’s the next step after everyone is aware? Just keep posting on Twitter about how much you don’t like things?
You have to take action to change things. Internet posts won’t stop them. Stop making excuses for not saving your own democracy.
“bringing awareness”.
Do you really think people don’t already know?
Yes 100% they don’t. You’re so far behind the times if you think they do.
Like even the logic of it doesn’t make sense. You and all other leftist removed yourself from all digital spaces where the majority of people get their information from. The rest of the country gets their information from those people who get their information from online sources where Lefty’s no longer generate the information. Go outside and start asking people at your work said in your life questions about things you know about Charlie. I bet most would tell you he was a good Christian bravely debating the youth and trying to bring people together. People don’t know because the left removed ourselves from platforms and stopped generating meaningful content. There’s no point going into the streets if we don’t have the channels to promote them messages. How many protests have come and gone the past decade. Yet the right spread something about trans kids in classrooms and my grandmother is discussing kids using Kitty litter in classrooms. M
