So if people aren’t doing the kind of resistance we want, and we can’t push people who already are willing to to some kind of action to be better informed and move more left, what the fuck do we do?
We always need more leftists, especially those with the willpower to actually go out and do shit. And where do you get more leftists? Hoping and playing people educate themselves, or pushing people who already mostly have similar base ideals to realize the logical conclusions of our current systems and what this administration is trying to do, and act accordingly?
If you’re American, organize locally. Agitation is nice and all, but at this stage I suspect you’d be more screaming at a wall than anything else. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink, as they say, so right now it’s better to get some infrastructure ready for when shit hits the far. If you’re not American, then frankly there’s nothing you can do except hope for the best and brace for the worst, in which case welcome to the club.

Education is nice, but there are better ways to do that than policing memes on a small leftist community in the corner of the internet.
There’s also the question if you can trust random strangers on the internet.
I would argue that if you’re doing something that may cause issues under an authoritarian government, it’s best to discuss this with people you actually know and preferably off-line.

I know you don’t wanna hear it, but organize! Talk to your neighbours, volunteer in your community, join a tenant union.
Even infiltrating these “protests” and ask questions like “isnt it weird that the lady who owns Wal Mart is sponsoring this protest?”
It’s confusing that anarchists havent figured this out but you gotta take a page from the commies on this one.
I do believe that actual anarchists are already doing that. Just seems to be left libs or baby leftists who still haven’t purged their inner liberal
This isn’t a community for talking down to anarchists matey, please remember rule 1.
Exactly, that’s precisely what I mean by pushing liberals and the people who are protesting to do more.
Not just making fun of people who are doing a not very effective protest, but talking to them and connecting with them.
