    Two questions.

    One, why would corporate owned media give any legitimacy to a resistance movement?

    Two, why would a resistance org give the system a heads up?

    The real resistance is, by necessity, an underground resistance. You’ll need to do some digging before you find it.

      If noticeable actions happened by anyone, the media would eat it up. A smart group of people would never claim ownership of an event, they would just let it happen.

      I never said heads up so I dunno how to answer that.

      I think that you’re just making up a bunch of shit to make you feel like a badass.

      I’m going to guess you didn’t see the question, instead of you dodging it… so I’ll ask again. Do you favor the MAGA “movement” over the anti-MAGA “movement?”

        My apologies, I thought it was obvious that we’re talking about organizing against MAGA here.

        I guess I’m not understanding what you’re expecting. What do you need to see before you consider a resistance org valid?

        Edit: Actually, I just looked through the thread and you never actually asked me the question you’re accusing me of dodging. I don’t think you’re operating in good faith here, so have a nice day.

          I’d need to see actual resistance. Standing on a corner isn’t resistance. Action is resistance. Can you provide a specific example of an action that any anti-fascist person or group has done? Anything?

            I get a feeling that our mutual aid network and plans on how to protect the immigrant community in my neighborhood if ICE shows up aren’t what you’d consider “real action” either.

            I don’t think any action will be enough to satisfy you, and if there was, you’d just say I’m lying. I cannot convince you if you do not want to look farther than your own preconceptions.

              Yeah that’s nice, but it’s not gaining any ground. I don’t think you’re the right person to talk to about this.

                  I mean gaining ground on fascism in general. I’m not saying what you’re doing isn’t great, but it’s not fighting fascism. It’s just protecting your own community’s immigrants as well as you can while fascism inevitably conquers the country. That’s not what I’m looking for.
