Dude, calm down. I know all of this is anxiety inducing. Americans are dealing with a lot of shit in their own country too. Our energy is better spent on encouraging Americans to keep protesting and resisting.
To be honest the time for protesting and resisting was about 10 years ago. Once they’re done weeding out undesirables over appearances they’ll go for ideologies and values soon.
Yeah but they aren’t. Once a quarter getting together to wave signs isn’t protesting. They aren’t resisting. Look to almost every other country to see what actual protests are. What actual resistance is.
That’s some confidently incorrect shit right there.
How the fuck do you know what’s happening or not happening when media refuses to cover it, or worse, does cover it but downplays it in such a way that thousands of people showing up turns into “some protesting occurred today in downtown Minneapolis.”
Actual resistance is what got the National Guard ordered out of LA, Portland, and Chicago, and why ICE is increasingly departing Minneapolis proper for places further out in more rural Minnesota. But you don’t know that, because you’re sopping up headlines and nothing else, if that much.
Look to almost every other country to see what actual protests are. What actual resistance is.
At this point, all I have to do is look past you and at my neighbors and fellow citizens: we know what we’re up against in ways that are clearly over your own head, and we’re showing up. We don’t need your discouragement and ignorance but if that’s all you have, that’s all you have.

Permits to hold a rally with signs isn’t it.

Ok bud. If you think you’re doing enough to fight fascism by holding a sign, good for you.
Your elected government has 42% approval rating.
Your opposition party has posted a few memes.
There has been lots of strongly worded letters.
No one can come to save you. If you think you’re doing enough, i support you.
Hopefully your demonstrating will finally end the fascist regime.
I know what id do if it happened in my country.
Yes we are. The news just doesn’t report on it.
Until they go on a nationwide general strike, sustained until it reaches its objective, they are condoning the administration
