    I think for answering that question we would need a baseline to compare with.

    Lacking that, with kindness and empathy in conversations. And with resoluteness in the face of injustice.

      And if that doesn’t work, use a flamethrower. That always gets your point across.

    1. Joining and organizing within your local community to create connections with others is incredibly powerful, will lay the groundwork for effective resistance.
    2. We can effect things drastically with a general strike. This can massively impact their income streams, and can bring a government to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
    3. Join the IWW and attempt to unionize your workplace, so that the general strike is even more effective.

    If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Join up with allies while we still can easily!

    Get woke and be proud of it. Take back the power of the term. Honestly not even the left does that so I don’t expect anyone to actually do that. But isn’t it ridiculous to bully people over that? “Oohh you accept other people’s differences?? WOKE!!” Uhh thanks?

      50+ European here. Could you please explain in simple terms what “woke” is? I’ve seen it for years now and still don’t have any idea.

      In my mind it’s a lumberjack shirted 30yo with a trimmed full beard and tattoos working as a barista. That’s how little I know of it… Sorry!

        It started off as being aware of systemic social issues, for example how racism isnt just “well gee I dont like black folks”, but is ingrained in society in all kinds of ways - for example, if you’re black you’re more likely to be pulled over while driving, stuff like that. Conservatives didn’t like or understand that because they thought “I have nothing against black folk so I can’t be racist!” While not understanding that it goes deeper than that.

        Then it turned into woke means anything that conservatives dont like. Many of them can’t define it beyond that.

        No one really knows. When asked to define it, people on the right have no concrete idea. It’s just a word that they use to symbolize everything they don’t like.

        When conservatives and liberals use the term, it means that person who’s on their high horse, that thinks they have superior virtues and morals because of their far left ideals and thinks they’re better than others because of it. And the point is that they don’t have better morals and they think they do. Of course people like that exist. But the term gets thrown around at anyone who seems to have very common sense morals in my leftist opinion.

            There are those types on both ends of the spectrum and it’s much more socially acceptable to be on the conservative end and be like that.

        Most people are right handed. Which means they will jab with the left, and the jab is your most important punch.

    Pull your money from the stock market. Park it in gold or other inflation resistant assets.

    Boycott the economy in general. Think what did your grandparents or great grand parents do during the Great Depression. Buy from thrift shops or make do. Do not buy consume more than you need to. Stop taking trips or other extravagances.

    Obstruct the agenda at every level attend rally’s and town halls. Become politically active. Buy a burner phone and only use that it for those activities. Put it in a faraday bag when not in use, never use it in and around your home.

    Stock up on guns bought from independent parties. Buy your ammo with cash. Learn to use your weapon find groups of like minded people and team up with them.

    Show zero tolerance for others speaking in favor of it. You don’t have to win every argument. You have to let them know that their “political beliefs” are fighting words and they’re going to get a fight whenever they try to speak them.

    Try to live well and thrive in spite of the turmoil. Hold on to the belief that this crazy period in history will end and try to avoid getting dragged into arguments with people who have drunk the kool aid. There’s no need to engage with the bullshit if you can avoid it.
