I don't see the contradiction? They're saying being a twitter/facebook user does less than nothing to resist fascism, even if you use it to complain.

100% Sure seems like as long as people have their phones to distract them, they’re happy to complain but not do anything else It’s fecklessness, apathy, and laziness. You can’t complain about a situation when you’re doing absolutely nothing to stop it from happening

What CAN we do though, other than complain online? You’re right, absolutely. But short of voting in 2026, we are stuck. Economic protest is effective (getting off the apps) but that cuts us off from communication to fellow complainers, isolating us. Which adds to the helplessness.

The actions required to address the severity of the situation are ones that shouldn't be discussed online

Stop working, playing, doing business with fascists in every corner of your life. Be ultra selective in purchasing power. Goods Unite Us helps choose 'better' corps for necessities. Believe it or not, people we able to communicate, even raise kids, just fine without SM not so long ago.

Boycotts work, if enough people participate. I have a long boycott list, and will stick to it.

Eventually, others will join. Hopefully, while they still have a choice.

You are talking to a wall here. These are the same people who complain about not canceling their Trump voting family and friends.

I owe you an apology for last night. Although I detest whining, I'll admit yesterday was a crappy day. Then I signed onto here and was attacked (not by you, obviously), so my patience was non-existent and I was short with you. I'm not usually pithy. Keep up the good fight. :-)

No worries. It is refreshing to know there are people out there who gaf. It is a good day.

Posting on other platforms is also not doing anything

I 100% resent this assertion. I know plenty who are doing all that they can.

Still not enough. Obviously.There are US troops being sent into US streets to attack US citizens on US soil.There needs to be a whole lot more people doing more than angry posting on fascist platforms. Doesn't even have to be violence. Stop financially supporting fascists. It's your $.Choose better.
