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.
Rules
- Do not gatekeep resistance
- Do not organize specific subversive plans here.
- Do not identify yourself or anyone else here.
- Do brainstorm general ideas about how to support people who need it and stymie the efforts of fascists
- Do share thoughts on how to be personally prepared for subversive action

We need to do some hard thinking about systemic fixes in a vacuum. We really don’t have a perfect answer to preventing eventual power disparities that eventually accelerate in a game theoretical sense, imho, and we probably want as best of an answer as possible to rally around and hopefully one day test. Patching what we have now is a more reachable option, but even that needs to be defined better as well, imo. I’m talking ranked voting, removing money influence, market collusion, market manipulation, oligopolies, no media monopolies, removing taxes havens while not incentivizing the chasing of loop holes; vs direct democracy or adjacently less-representative forms.
I totally agree. I think we need big changes. The leader of our country implied we’d be doing stuff like that, but he’s a banker, so who really knows.
