Got *dammit* I'm tired of alleged anti-fascists telling other anti-fascists that their action won't work.
Wake the fuck up, people.
1) *No* single action will be enough.
2) *Every* single action counts.
As far as I'm concerned, wasting time arguing with people on your own side about what is the one true action is *counter*-revolutionary behavior.
Stop cos-playing amateur-hour armchair analyst and start taking actions and supporting the actions of others.
@GeePawHill if you like staying at home for some reason, here are some helpful things you can do:
- consume + critique + write in + tell your friends about local news coverage of protests and government shootings. Praise the good, shame the bad.
- same as above but for "apolitical" coverage. youtubers and podcasters make a political comment even though they cover video games? PRAISE the good, nobody ever praises those people. shame the bad, gently. if you're too harsh they will block you.
- call your reps in government. CALL not email. CALLing takes effort to receive, emails go into a hole. https://5calls.org/
- take NLG legal observer training. there is a particular need for at-home protest coordinators (documenting info from protests for when cops violate people's rights, for future lawsuits). Few people want to do this. Commitment is a few hours during a protest.
- support (money + eyeballs + retweet) news coverage that speaks truth to power
- evaluate what you and your social group supports. withdraw funding from groups against your values. write and call in to those groups and explain why you're pulling out.
- ask your friends and family to do all of the above and show up to protest, even if you can't
