      Get in touch with your local resistance groups. The way to effectively resist rising authoritarianism, IMO, is together.

        They don’t advertise honey, and my local resistance group, from what I can see, likes to wear furry outfits and dance on the corner near the ICE facility. I need something more substantial than that.

          Mate, its called putting in effort, something you say none of us are doing. Turns out, its just you projecting your laziness.

              How is it inaccurate? You say that we aren’t resisting, somebody said that your local resistance orgs are, and you say that you saw the furries and assumed that was all of them.

              That is literally you complaining that you’re being too lazy to find or found an effective org. I’m in a rural town of less than 2k and we’ve managed to grow our local org to over 40 people in just a few weeks. Stop whining and do some work.

                I’m saying I don’t know where the local groups are who aren’t furries—not that they are actual furries.

                And if any groups existed anywhere, we would be hearing about those actions… and we aren’t. All we hear about is maga burning down judges houses.

                Unless you’re saying you’re in one of those groups…

                  Two questions.

                  One, why would corporate owned media give any legitimacy to a resistance movement?

                  Two, why would a resistance org give the system a heads up?

                  The real resistance is, by necessity, an underground resistance. You’ll need to do some digging before you find it.

                    If noticeable actions happened by anyone, the media would eat it up. A smart group of people would never claim ownership of an event, they would just let it happen.

                    I never said heads up so I dunno how to answer that.

                    I think that you’re just making up a bunch of shit to make you feel like a badass.

                    I’m going to guess you didn’t see the question, instead of you dodging it… so I’ll ask again. Do you favor the MAGA “movement” over the anti-MAGA “movement?”

          I’m guessing based on the furry outfits you’re in Portland. If so, look up “indivisible portland” or “50501 portland.” And if you’re not in Portland, just substitute your city or area.
