 protect your wife. if you can, be in a better "place" and wait for the "times"
 to move forward. the both of you are important for the world of tomorrow.
 
 if the fascists take control, it won't matter that they'll come for her first.
 they must not take control.

 if the election goes poorly, keep in mind that eventually everyone will either
 fight, or support those who are fighting.
 
 everyone.
 
 if the election upholds the status quo, there is a chance that their wounds
 might heal and they may rejoin us in our reasonable society.
 
 keep working for reason. it will pay off in the long run. remember that a
 better world is possible, but you can't leave anyone alive behind when
 reaching for it.

 I personally think that it's better to act before the liberals have a chance
 to hand power over to the fascists.
 
 when? well, that depends. Are you part of a large and massive organization
 that accomplishes great and beautiful things with incredible efficiency... but
 rather slowly? Then yeah get working. I'm sure you already are.
 
 Are you just a person, like me? Then go do things that don't raise the
 temperature too much, but make you feel more confident and inspire those
 around you.
 
 Like, bricks at cop cars is one way to go, but you're probably gonna get
 arrested. And then you're useless when we need you.
 
 BUT if you meet with your friends and make plans for where to go, what to
 bring, who to know, and what to sing (if you're the musical types) then great!
 Go do that.
 
 If you're reading this and thinking "I'm not gonna do that, I have a plan
 that's so much better" then yeah do that instead. I don't mind. Just... don't
 hurt innocent (ignorant) people, because if you do then you are my foe.

 Come to a battleground state, nobody will question why you are homeless and
 full of lit sparks.
 There's nothing left for you at your home. It's okay to leave it all behind.
 Just bring the things that you made if you can, the things that reflect "you"
 - the most irreplaceable things, like family photos and precious small charms.
 
 Everything else is to be abandoned. If necessary in your particular case, dear
 reader, for I swear it to you in your face: we will not let these fascists go
 far.
 
 Come please, and help us. I don't care what you once owned, I don't care from
 where you claim is your home, just don't betray us and we'll take care of you
 and fight against the dark.

 If you're radical enough to consider yourself "antifa" then you are probably
 working as hard as you can. I wouldn't ask you to do more.
 
 We must demand that others work for our future as well. It is unreasonable to
 demand so much of us. We must be funded and supported if we are to mobilize,
 and we must have the freedom to move and organize if we are to contest our
 enemies.

 I can't reassure you about the "place", but the "times" are getting better. We
 stand now at the apex of their cruelty, and all it takes to reach the bright
 future is to keep moving forward.
 
 unfortunately, the future always comes, but it comes unevenly and not fully

 if you have a job, your life is dictated by your corporation just as much as
 it is by your government.
 
 And yet corporate leaders are not elected, but rather selected. And that is
 unfair for all the reasons that primogeniture was. It is unjust for all the
 same reasons that monarchy was. It is a tool of oppression, just like
 autocracy is.
 
 The world will never be free until we can be as we choose to be. Our society
 is simply too enmeshed with capitalism to destroy it, but we could, with the
 minimal required effort, dismantle the corruption and authoritarian control
 that is wielded against us as we weld our own chains day after day.
 
 We can replace them. We can vote for them. We can select leaders who know more
 than us and are better suited for the role than those who seek only to
 maximize profit over all else.

 dying won't help you escape. It'll leave you stuck in capitalism forever.
 
 The future is where capitalism dies, not in a grave of stone stuck forever in

 You've developed a crucial insight here. Fascists aren't the opposites of
 communists, they're not trying to make the world better by altering or
 updating their governance systems.
 
 They are trying to kill people. To gather power. The mislead and betray. They
 seek destruction and little else. They are evil.
 
 Not everyone who votes for Trump is evil... They might simply have been lied
 to, repeatedly, and never given a chance to think anything else. But their
 movement will bring us fascism, so, they are enemies to those who value a
 fair, just, kind, rational, and developing nation.
 
 They are few. We can win, I know it to be true.

 Consumption is contribution to a capitalist system. Normalize taking whatever
 you are given and living as humbly as you can. Only when everyone does that
 may capitalism die. Talk to them, learn from their stories. Teach them your
 ways but don't force anything upon them. Any ounce of regret is defined as a
 mind not aligned to the angle of perception that designs the line that the
 collective mind co-re-assigns.

 The bigger a county is on the electoral map, the weaker it is. But, the more
 space required to control it completely. Treat the largest counties like
 Badlands - difficult to traverse unless in numbers, and even with numbers
 you're a bright shining target. Very little food, very few supplies, often not
 worth controlling aside from the peace and knowledge that your foes will not
 attack from that direction.

 I think that most people actually would rather lie down and die than fight
 back, to be honest. If they even know that there's a fight ahead.
 
 it's important to scream from the rooftops:
 
 a better world is possible
 a better world is within reach
 for the children of our children
 we refuse to lie down and weep
 
 danger is coming
 danger is here
 pride is unbecoming
 and they need us in fear.
 
 I am not afraid
 for I am never alone
 I fight against decay
 for there's fascism at play
 
 not brother against brother
 with sisters screaming online
 but brothers against traitors
 and sisters in kind.
 
 you've heard what they say.
 you know who they are.
 our duty is to strike them
 right where they are most harmed.
 
 we need to take a moment
 just a breath before the leap
 for the children of our children
 all we need is one week

 if you're gonna kill yourself anyway, might as well throw yourself at a cause
 you believe in. Ideally the kind that requires repeated attendance and lots of
 opportunities to make friends or forge communal bonds with people who can help
 you.
 
 honestly, what do you have to lose? sure it's hard, but nothing worth doing is
 easy. If it were, someone else would have done it already.

 dear child.
 
 when you're born, fate flips a coin for you. sometimes it lands on it's edge,
 but that's rather rare.
 
 the side it lands on determines how your body will grow. the shape of your
 form will follow two general patterns, and the pieces are made up of a
 combination of your parents and their pieces.
 
 the flavor of who you are is up to you. your actions and your decisions
 determine what you are, everything else is unimportant.
 
 may your time be a bit more blessed than mine, and someday may posterity be a
 bit more blessed than antiquity.

 such is the same for all leaders, elected or otherwise.
 
 sometimes, it's better to question authority than to grow to resent it.
 
 resentment is inaction. it is an untenable [charity./tragedy.]

 If I destroyed the world, don't worry. I'd bring it back in such a way that
 the teleporter problem doesn't apply, and there would be no discontinuity for
 anything except for the time variable, which is sort of arbitrary anyway.
 
 And if that's a problem I guess I could find a way to do it without messing
 with the time variable, but that'd be a bit more bothersome.

 if trump dropped out and musk took his place

 good thing it'll never happen because those dinguses can't accept defeat and
 will never tactically retreat

 maybe something to keep in mind for 4 years from now. eyes on the prize for
 now means our eyes aren't to our flanks.
 
 what else could they do that would come out of left field?

 If you have numbers, envelop your foes.
 
 If you are elite, pierce to their heart.
 
 If you only have numbers, give your commanders bodyguards.
 
 If you only have elite, become undiscoverable.
 
 EDIT:
 If you are fast, hit from the side.
 
 if you are only fast, keep them just out of sight.
 
 If you are strong, deal crushing blows
 
 if you are only strong, you no longer have any foes.

 I know it's terrible right now, but we have crucial advantages that we
 shouldn't sleep on.
 
 We have the cities, and the cities are where everything is. Rural areas are so
 spread apart they pretty much can only do what herr Hitler suggests they do,
 meaning their command structure is monolithic. If everywhere needs their
 attention, they will falter unless they create a grand battleplan. And plans
 are defeated by rapid flexibility.
 
 The more effort they need to counter you, the more work your allies can get
 done. Every man woman and child who raised a fist will be remembered by the
 moments that gave us grace to move socialism along. We know what time it is,
 do you? Come to us now, flee from your new masters. We'll give you a job
 that'll help us go faster.
 
 Or do you rather persist in vain? To fight for what they are forced to
 reclaim? Every island of blue in the deep red sea is a haven from the
 bloodshed - so long as you can keep them clean.

 if you're meeting a friend from out of town the first time, it's best if they
 arrive early and you have the day off to show them around.
 
 or if they arrive late, you can meet them in a public place the next day and
 then spend time at your favorite spots.
 
 ideally, with people who would recognize you if the person from out of town
 decided to be hurtful and/or replace you.
 
 plus, that way you can gauge their character
 
 and decide whether or not you want them in your own home.
 
 they might be different than they are online, after all.

 A good way to get people talking is to meet with a stranger and share your
 feelings.
 
 Or, if you're scared of strangers, then try talking with a friend.
 
 "something something SUPREME COURT something whatever CRIMINALIZED PEOPLE blah
 blah blah I WON'T STAND FOR IT"
 
 that kind of thing. Make sure you look at your friend for the loud bits, and
 maybe look at someone else nearby when it's your friend's turn to speak.

 We've always been that way in their eyes. If they make it legal, nothing will
 change in how people think of you. They might be a bit bolder if there's fewer
 legal protections, but laws have always just been words.
 
 There are more of us than there are of them. If you have community, you'll
 feel safer. I know it's scary but we can get through it together.

 I feel like the longer you live in a zip code the higher a discount you should
 get on rent? You're becoming part of the social fabric by being there, and so
 in order to preserve that tapestry that others choose to be around, your
 presence should be encouraged.
 
 but this must also be paired with the increased ability to move, should you
 desire something else. If these two factors are kept in balance, it will
 empower people to stay where they belong (good) while also encouraging them to
 get out and explore the world (also good) - it'd also give them the ability to
 escape dangerous situations.

 the art of propaganda is being in the right social media place at the right
 time with the right things to share. Sometimes you have to blend in, that's
 okay. The words are what are important, if you think "huh yeah true, where's
 the lie though" then maybe it'll not be such a betrayal.

 On one hand, it's good to be sharp. On the other, if you keep them on their
 toes their ankles will grow weak.
 
 The more entrenched someone is, the harder it is for them to spring up and
 leap - toward a new us-inflicted-disaster, something difficult for them to
 foresee.
 
 Consistency is important - even if nothing's going on. I mean, what else are
 you going to do, look at memes? I'd rather be out in the shade.

I know the media & amplification of the tycoons makes it seem like that’s the whole industry. But it’s not. And we still have power.

 Democracy only works if the losing side consents to being governed by the
 winner.
 
 This election, neither side will consent. Therefore, this election does not
 matter.
 
 It doesn't matter anymore.
 
 Waiting until November to do... anything at all is not a great plan.
 
 If you don't know what to do, spend time in a park. At the mall. With your
 family.
 
 This weekend, they'll be ready for us. But by then, there'll be more of us.
 
 Next week, we will no longer be slaves.
 
 If your job won't let you strike in the park for a week, then they do not want
 you.
 
 Embrace radical change.
 
 A new future is possible
 A new future is within reach
 A new future is grasped in our palms
 All we need is a week.
