    that’s how fascists get started

    ¹ I’ll forgive your ignorance here,

    Time for a friendly neightborhood potluck.

    But yes, financing a canteen is praxis that I do.

    There’s still no collective consciousness that “If they abduct Antibully for being an unapologetic trans inclusive feminist, I will be next. Thus I have to defend my neighbors as if it was me.”

    ¹ Fascism is always state sponsored. It never grassroots. My state is 100% Fascist.

      Technically fascism is also often corporate-sponsored. But more to the point that kind of sponsorship means people get paid to do the sitting around in empty rooms bit. They still need to form gangs of brownshirts that trust each other enough to go out and do violence that might incur repercussions. And most of the members of those gangs don’t get paid at all.

      There’s still no collective consciousness that “If they abduct Antibully for being an unapologetic trans inclusive feminist, I will be next. Thus I have to defend my neighbors as if it was me.”

      You can help develop that in the process of getting to know your neighbors. If you’re hosting, at the very least I imagine you would be entitled to have a speech about why you’re doing it and what you hope to achieve with it in the long term.

        Exactly what I am doing. The issue is exactly that my speeches do amount to naught in their compliant eyes. And I can’t blame them for fearing our fascist state over intersecting and solidarity response. That’s the rut I deal with: Complacency.
