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.

There's a site called Public Square that is a dog whistle for like minded MAGA Nazis to find businesses that share their fascistic beliefs. I propose everyone find their local Nazi businesses and let folks know on mainstream review sites where their money should go instead. I'm getting some friends in on it too. Obligatory "make a throwaway account with a fake email to do so" notice here.

Seriously. I felt like a kid at Christmas when I discovered I could start fighting back locally instead of feeling overwhelmed nationally.

it's particularly annoying because a "parallel economy" is something socialists and anarchists have advocated for many decades as a way to weaken reliance on corporate power structures and enhance mutual aide networks.

seeing these "anti-woke" groups co-opting terminology that's traditionally associated with underdog/resistance movements and inverting their purpose to exclusively benefit reactionary in-groups is just... ick.

The way I figure it they don't get to have it both ways. If they want to support that, let em. But I say it's good to let local people know what they are putting money towards, and push them to better local alternatives.

It's nice of them to make a list for us.

They couldn't even be bothered to write that themselves, that's mostly or all AI slop

I wouldn't visit this site without using Tails on a USB thumbstick via a coffee shops wifi.

Feels like a honeypot to surveil people who disagree.

Good idea, not a bad plan at all
