Sounds great, but HOW?
I feel like there’s this effort to beat Trump using the 2017 #resistance playbook. I don’t think it will work.
you’d think people world organize before making him president if that’s what they wanted
He became president with a heavy helping of voter suppression, so maybe don’t mistake or misrepresent his presidency as the will of the people.
86 million people didn’t vote. I’m sure some of them were suppressed. but even then that’s quite a few people who are totally okay with him on the helm. you can’t absolve the people with voter suppression claims. voter suppression has always been there. it’s not 86 million votes.
Don’t tell us what to do, tell us how to do it.
Decentralised protesting, start shit somewhere and run as fast as you can before the police arrives, start shit somewhere else. Repeat until demands are met.
Look at historical examples of peaceful protests.
I’m now dead because police shot me on a college campus.
Or other protests.
If you want violent protests it’s better to look at revolutions in this case.
Spread positivity at work. Help people with their tasks. Create a sense of community. This has the added benefit of temporarily appeasing your capitalists so they won’t notice what’s happening.
Once you have a solid foundation and people start spreading the positivity themselves, wait. Wait until it spreads through the entire company, then organize.
Heck yeah
Important to note that in some places it may be more feasible to sow dissent than happiness, but it’s also harder to pull off organization that way
How do you eat a hamburger ten times the size of your head? One little fish pretending to be a fin at a time.
Fat chance of that. Americans have proven they’re the most spineless cowards there are. It’s like they’re trying to play out all of Niemöller’s First They Came to completion.
Things that can tip one way can tip another. All hope is not yet lost. Let’s keep our chins up and keep trying.
I’ll believe that when I see it.
We saw it 5 years ago with BLM.
And don’t forget your towel!
You’re one hoopy frood
