resistance doesn't have to mean direct confrontation. sugar in gas tanks, slashed tires, acts of vandalism--pretty much anything that disrupts or slows them down counts.

illegal? maybe. but no more so than what they're doing to us.

edit: BTW, fascists will instantly label any of these minor acts of defiance as "terrorism"-- don't ever let them plant that seed of propaganda. "terrorism" is acts against the people. "resistance" is acts against tyranny.

I’ve still yet to see any targets for even that type of resistance in my community. Feel so worthless not being able to take action.

For now sure but the way i see it soon they will go full speed with it and death will be the sentence for most ( they still need slave for the farm and such but Judge dredd style but with ICE for the others ) for anybody they don't like

tbh i'll be surprised if any kind of movement actually takes off. i think we're just fucked, and it's only a matter of time

Same, i know people are fearful abouth doing something but fear won't stop Palanthir AI sending a death squad taking care of them because they found a tweet saying fuck trump in 2016

yep. they're already vanishing immigrants and citizens. the fear will only increase when people start disappearing only because they're opposed to fascism

It's nothing for now but when all the process ( except the killing or maybe drone ? ) will be made automatic by AI with no supervision on who they flag it's going to be too late to start the fight people need to be ready way before that
