The richest men on the planet Earth are surrounding and and giving gifts/favors to a man who holds the highest position in a World Superpower with one of the largest militaries on the planet.
What can we realistically do to fight a possible incoming Nazi regime?
Big stuff? not much. You aren’t going to change the political trajectory in a hurry and there is only so much an individual can do.
However, change starts small and it starts local. Get involved in your local government and other judgement making entities. It may not seem like much but when even the school boards are full of Nazis it affects the next generation. Start by making small achievable goals, and by finding like minded people to organize with. Take every win you can get, and a win is one less voice in power telling kids they shouldn’t exist or making your parents afraid of Mexicans.
We can also minimize the fallout. There are going to be victims of the policies announced today. Do your best to help them if you can. Refuse to hurt people. Be kind to your brother.

Your point around trying to keep the school boards on the right side of things is of paramount importance. Education is of paramount importance right now.
If you still have your Amazon Prime subscription, Facebook Account, Twitter Account. The literal, very least you could do, is not support the companies of these literal Billionaires, with a capital B.
We need to bring back community, actual in person communities. Supporting local businesses and bring people together for discussions and socializing. As a society, we are too disconnected. It’s too easy to just throw a comment online (what I’m doing now) and move on. Actual change comes from society, and as a society we need to make change together.
I don’t know, this reads like a CIA document. I’m not signing a pledge to activism (that’s literally in the doc btw).
FR though there’s some good stuff in here lol
I think this kind of thing might work in a civil society, and let’s hope we stay in a civil society, but once the boots start hitting the ground, once onlookers start saluting back, peaceful protests won’t work.
Real talk.

In a bumper sticker phrase, Build community.

Familiarize yourself with the OSS manual on subtle sabotage

But what can we ACTUALLY do? Lmao
I don’t know, wait for leadership to arrive.
Keep speaking out, speaking up, and pointing out that it’s really us workers against the billionaire corporation class.
Bring people together, IRL, and have actual conversations. Apes really are strong together, it’s not a meme, it’s real life.
