Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

Looking forward to your ideas of things that should be done.

Looking forward to your explanation of which leftist organization organized this event and how streaming video facilitates operational security.

I've many ideas. But, it's a red herring that I'll not facilitate.

The topic we're engaging on is that a moderator should be able to explain who organized the event they're supporting and why steaming video does not violate basic operational security.

I'll add that moderators that double down on logical fallacy probably shouldn't be moderators.

"I have many ideas. They live in Canada, you wouldn't know them."

If you don't like it here, nobody is forcing you to be here.

If you don't like it here, nobody is forcing you to be here.

Your best defense of this event is a red herring, to suggest I find my way out and to engage your alt.

That's not good. Not good at all.

General strike. Shutdown everything. Economic pain is the only thing that hurts the broligarchy.

Sign up on the strike card only if you trust the organizers on that site, however it is something being talked about on tbe calendar.

Wait, ignoring all of the other stuff, why does protest and action have to be leftist to be legit?

There are other segments protesting, including democrats, who are not leftist.

Here's who's organizing it, from the post.

Don't stream. But you need to explore what revolutionary optimism is.

After decades engaging theory and praxis, after a half dozen books on the specific topic, after suggesting the core text on the topic to you, I now need to watch some fuckhead's video to explain the basics?

I'm not convinced. Not even a little bit.

That fuckhead has been organizing for the past 15 years. You're unwilling to do any research outside of what you've read and can reinforce yourself. You weren't aware of this protest before you read it on the news and since you didn't hear it through the grapevine you don't trust it as you cannot control it. You are the very example of a terminally online leftist. Touch grass. There's no conspiracy against you here. And you're getting defensive. You might want to investigate why.

With all your learned reasoning why don't you define in your own words what revolutionary optimism is. I'm not referring to the dua lipa song.
