Fighting fascism isn't just stopping nazi rallies and pushing the bastards out of the parliaments and courts. It's also about safeguarding the free press, science, and the labour movement. And if everyone does their little part where they stand and lift up each other's voices in solidarity, that's when you have a popular front. Doesn't take more than that. There's hope in despair and unity in chaos, mutually arising.
This makes it sound so easy and it's not, but remember that you don't have to save the world all alone. Millions of people all over the place, millions of people who never cared that much about politics are rising up right now demanding an end to all the nonsense. You can be a link in that chain - pull your weight and do whatever you have to do to avoid breaking under the pressure.
@oldmeanroy I'm sure you too have something close to you that you want to protect. Perhaps that's something to focus on.
@anarchiv if you're nearsighted you should get glasses.
I'm focused on things which affect not only me but others. (not limited to those within my nation either, we all live on the same world)
@oldmeanroy @anarchiv Okay, but if you are feeling powerless to change something further away from you, is drowning in that powerlessness *actually* any more useful than working on issues close to you and making progress there?
Sure, one worldwide struggle and all, but if that isn't translating into material wins for you then maybe it's not the right focus to have right now.
@joepie91 @oldmeanroy
Aye, this is what I was getting at!
