First one, and this one is very important: be violent towards Nazis. If someone in your near vicinity talks nazi trash, punch them in their fucking faces. We will not tolerate their bullshit in our streets.
Secondly, keep yourself informed, to help keeping other people informed. Not about what the Trump governments latest distractions are, but about stuff like special elections, where Democrats have a chance of taking Republican seats. They just flipped a historically unopposed conservative Senate seat to be democrat.
And third, campaign for progressives who are trying to unseat “moderate” democrats who vote with republicans in America. I might never even set foot in America myself, but the consequences worldwide if trump successfully turns America fascist are insane.
Good for you, but as I already said I’m not American, I’m not in America, so I can’t vote in your elections and I can’t talk to republican voters because there aren’t any here. There are plenty of right-wing voters in the UK but they have completely different priorities to US Republicans, they’re not equivalent.
I said what I’m doing to protest. Then you said “that’s not good enough you are effectively only boycotting Coca-Cola” (Which by the way makes no sense because Coca-Cola in Europe is made in Europe not in the US.) Literally that is effectively what you said.
Then I asked you what you wanted me to do in addition to “boycotting Coca-Cola” and you went on a random tangent about what Americans can do. I’m not American, and when I pointed out to you I’d already told you I wasn’t American l, you randomly decided that I’d accused you of being American, which I didn’t, and then decided to change the terms of the conversation to be about what people in general can do.
However, I think what seems- key after seeing how people can be manipulated into voting against their own interests and instead for things like Brexit and MAGA… people can be really fucking stupid - and if they’re convinced that actually it’s this other reason they’re being told is the cause of their problems…. Them receiving a punch to the face means they shut off from any possibility of reasonable explanation and deprogramming. Idk. I just think what’s happening right now is a lot more nuanced than your vitriol presents. I don’t think we can punch our way out of this problem.
You’re right I should be a rude prick online that’ll really help.
So what radical actions are you taking comrade sarcastic dick?

So what else can I do being so remote?
then go talk about tea and scones somewhere else
Dude I’m Danish. Plus, i never said anything about talking to Republican voters…
I talked about helping to keep the democratic voters informed about special elections where they have a chance to turn the power in government.
You can do that online no problem.
Yeah you’re moving the goal posts now.

Talk about intellectual dishonesty.
This whole thread is about not taking fascism, you said you weren’t taking it lying down.
Then you said all you did was a boycut lol.
Then i said a bunch of stuff that you can do as a European to fight the rising nazism across the pond.
Then you got whiny. I am not moving any goalposts.
I am all for punching nazis.
