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.

To be honest very few people know theory. Like, you can be anti-fascist but you don't need to have actually read Das Kapital or anything to be that.
I didn't even know what that person was talking about until you said that. Seems like a pretty elitist "tell." I don't really know any theory beyond that I don't like billionaires or fascists. I would hope we would be welcoming people like myself at protests instead of trying to call us out as undercover pigs.
not everybody has necessarily read lots, but you pick some up just kind of around if you hang out around lefties. we can be pretty obnoxious like that. it's not all explicit; there's other ways to ask the question.
but you get ideas about how society operates, or should operate, or could operate. if you're really out feeding unhoused people or finding the gaps in systems to exploit or finding the gaps in systems to try and fill them in and hold them together to buy five more seconds til collapse. you kind of can't not. even if your ideas aren't very sophisticated or somebody else already articulated it better.
and you can absolutely extrapolate from that. or a what-if.
