Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

To play devil’s advocate, because this is where my fears and doubts lie, is do we (as humanists/anti-authoritarians worldwide) have enough nation-states with enough manpower to fight back the current openly fascist ones if it came to it given that authoritarianism and tolerance to it is worryingly on the rise in traditionally democratic first-world countries? It seems that maybe due to current analytical tools like palantir, psy ops from social media and regular media, (or for one reason or another); mass-control government factions are reaping the benefits of a sedated population, the outrage may simply never reach a point of action because it is being actively dissipated the Goldilocks amount relative to the rate of increase in power disparity.
