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.

Of course I am. Does it need a /s after it, cause I thought it was obvious.
I don't know the age of the person you are replying to, but I have noticed that Gen Z in general does not understand sarcasm on the internet the way that Millennials and Gen X do. Maybe not enough in-person communication? I don't know. It will probably be studied a few years down the line.
Dude, we live in a time wherein Russia managed to destroy America from within via lies on social media. "Just text people about it, they can't track that" could be someone who genuinely doesn't know how easy it is to track SMS, or it could be a psyop to try and get people to organise with poor opsec, or it could be sarcasm - there's quite literally no way to tell. If you have a foolproof method, I'm all ears.
I think you might have replied to the wrong person.
Why do you think that? You implied I'm a child because I didn't get they were being sarcastic, didn't you? I wasn't trying to put any emotion into what I wrote, if you read that into it; just pointing out that it's not unreasonable to miss sarcasm in writing on the Internet nowadays.
Provide me a method to distinguish your sarcastic statement from one out of someone who genuinely doesn't know how easily SMS can be tracked, or a troll, or disinformation, and then I'll accept your "of course". As far as I'm aware there's no way to be sure without asking; relying on a statements ridiculousness to reveal it as sarcasm is a losing strategy in the post-truth world.
