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.

    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.

          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
