Speaking as someone living in Hungary, to friends in the #USA:

The greatest weapon the system has is outrage fatigue. Doing so many unimaginable things at the same time that people just sigh and go on. Having so many things to protest that you run out of days and hours. Piling on so you start focusing on surviving with your bare mental health day to day.

Pick your cause and stick to it. Support others who focus on different causes. Don't try to do everything at once.

@TarkabarkaHolgy yes, outrage fatigue has been used as a weapon by the right when they gain power. Trump certainly used it before, and so did GWB. That's one reason they're so sadistic, because it wears us out. Great advice!

@jamesmarshall @TarkabarkaHolgy Same with politicsl actors & parties in Germany. Both the 💩 (AfD) with their fascist leader (confirmed by court that he can be called that) and his lackeys as well as the CDU (the so-called „Christian Democratic Union“) with Merkel‘s successor Frierdrich Merz and his minion Carsten Linnemann and several former federal ministers play this game as well. They adopted the MAGA playbook in huge parts, spewing hate and „flood the zone with shit“.
