Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

I know it's probably photoshop but I want to believe I'm living amongst people that see what's going on.

I often feel like we as a society let "everyone is entitled to their opinion" go too far. Like when it's "I like vanilla and you like chocolate" that's fine. Let people enjoy their flavor of choice. But when it's like "I don't think those foreign people should live" that's just the same kind of thing at all.

And closely related, when someone's like "I just don't believe in vaccines" we shouldn't just let that be.

Yes. Unfortunately, if you try to slug a nazi a bunch of pearl clutchers will pop up saying violence is never ever ever acceptable oh dear we need to compete in the marketplace of IDEAS and follow the LAW we might not like that the law says the [outgroup] are to be forcibly relocated but it is what it is oh dear.

I don't expect everyone to be on the front line throwing a molotov, but I would like if more people wouldn't actively support the oppressors.

They're fine or ignore violence when Nazis do it which is worse

The Pearl clutchers are also Nazis then
