    There is plenty of leadership and coordination, just not for this purpose. People adapt. I hope it may not be necessary for that to happen, but I know plenty of people who are excellent community organizers. All they need is to change what they teach at their outreach classes.

      People adapt.

      Under a fascist leadership, they adapt by becoming more accommodating to fascists and more allergic to liberal democracy.

      I know plenty of people who are excellent community organizers. All they need is to change what they teach at their outreach classes.

      I agree in theory. But in practice, it seems any kind of militant liberalism gets dismissed as “both sides” or denounced as “being a tankie”.

        I think people recognize this time around it’s different. Maybe not all people will recognize the importance of resisting, but a lot of my friends are in the groups that will be targeted by conservatives. And I don’t think they will idly stand by.
