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.

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.
