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.
Rules
- Do not gatekeep resistance
- Do not organize specific subversive plans here.
- Do not identify yourself or anyone else here.
- Do brainstorm general ideas about how to support people who need it and stymie the efforts of fascists
- Do share thoughts on how to be personally prepared for subversive action

But that's precisely why you start out with actions that put your movement in the spotlight, like going on protests or similar forms of agitation.
Not going to the store for a day is hardly going to make anyone care (as it's literally based on absence rather than presence), especially the shops who this type of boycott is supposed to harm. People still need food, basic necessities and tools and can't live without them, so this would result in people buying more some other day to compensate.
I was being sarcastic. Edited my message. Of course change is slow. IMO it's idiotic to expect large changes without doing a fucking thing for it. "I'll just twiddle my thumbs and live life as always, surely something will change".
