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.
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

Do they have a YT account?
If they do, you can curate their watch history.
I do it myself and it is highly effective, I have a pretty narrow field that I am interested in when watching youtube, mostly odd history, but also retro tech and travel challenges.
That is what I want to get recommended to me, but I also watch videos from outside that field as I find them interesting as well.
Recently I have been watching Robot Chicken videos on YT, but I don't really want to have them recommended to me, so I remove them from my watch history, and bam, they are gone from my recommendations!
In this case, if you have access to their YT account you can do this in the background, you can watch interesting, neutral videos to add them to their algorithm, then slowly start removing some of their watch history over months.
I don't see this as immoral, YT is already weaponizing the algorithm, and has done so for a LONG time, now it is our turn to do so as well.
Anyone arguing to the contrary would've likely been a doctor in the 50s, smoking a pack a day in the ER...
