alt-text for thumbnail: text saying “blocking fascists is self-care” next to an antifascist flag on a 2d digital art wooden background
edit:
reactionaries in the comments, look at that. Not surprising since this place downvotes everything related to queer and disabled people, I suggest yall find somewhere else to hang out. I got a discord server if anyone is interested
that is not online, the circumstances are very different. This also doesn’t stop them from doing fascism, it just changes what fascism they do. I am not sure the impact of that is all too great
it probably just convinces them to focus on attacking disabled people, women, queer people, etc
if you assume everything you could try will succeed you will be found dead at the bottom of a cliff
there is a difference between guaranteed failure and efficiency as well
from this comment my assumption is that you didnt watch the video. I think you should probably focus on context before jumping into a conversation
I didn’t mean to imply it was a 1-1 comparison. I just used it as an example of a situation where a person or group of people were taking part in something really terrible, and were talked out of it by someone who was actually willing to take the time, and put in the effort. It can work. Not saying it always will in every situation, but it can.
