Of course, there will be violent pushback against this, so like the Black Panthers who first pioneered their own parallel systems because US capitalism punished the black community for existing, we must have people ready to protect the new systems that have been built. Fighting fascism is more complicated than just buying guns and taking them on. It’s going to have to be a combination of building systems we can rely on other than capitalism as well as building groups who can and will do their best to protect those systems.
agreed, but this part feel unrealistic given my interactions with american liberals.
lemmy represents the left-most sampling of the american liberals and even they decry leftists platforms and shame their own people for not towing the pro-capitalist line; especially on this instance.
also from the article:
Democrats must not treat this as a misguided trade policy. It’s not a debate over economic theory. It’s an assault on the idea of an open, educated, pluralistic society. We must recognize it for what it is if we are to fight it with the urgency it demands.
this is also seems unrealistic as evidenced by booker’s pointless filibuster; blocking aoc from the oversight committe; and obstructing bernie from the nomination twice.
I don’t know, if you are good at speaking to them I bet you’d have the best pickings to get a small mob together of any place.
In my experience, people who ride the bus are already radicalized. Perhaps confused politically, so avoid political terms and just speak at the level of playground justice.

Don’t use social media to gauge public opinion, take a bus and talk to randos instead.
those randos are going to more conservative than lemmy users

if i were any good at speaking to people; i wouldn’t be on social media. lol
So what if they are? It would likely be a more genuine exchange than this one.
I live in Chicago so most would be liberals.
The liberals mods on .world literally remove my comments that gain traction so the exchange would likely be on par irl
