For those of you that wonder what skills you already have to offer and can't come up with a plan of action, let me offer you this *one weird trick* that can defeat fascists.
There’s actually quite a lot that normal people can do to resist authoritarianism, but we culturally value violence because we associate it with masculinity and we live under patriarchy.
The thing is, if we want to transition to a better world we have to build that world. If we try to end the existing system before building the new one, it will be significantly more challenging.

None of this is to say that militancy isn’t useful in it’s place, but rather that we miss opportunities if we prioritize it.
