Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

How is it inaccurate? You say that we aren't resisting, somebody said that your local resistance orgs are, and you say that you saw the furries and assumed that was all of them.
That is literally you complaining that you're being too lazy to find or found an effective org. I'm in a rural town of less than 2k and we've managed to grow our local org to over 40 people in just a few weeks. Stop whining and do some work.
I’m saying I don’t know where the local groups are who aren’t furries—not that they are actual furries.
And if any groups existed anywhere, we would be hearing about those actions… and we aren’t. All we hear about is maga burning down judges houses.
Unless you’re saying you’re in one of those groups…
Two questions.
One, why would corporate owned media give any legitimacy to a resistance movement?
Two, why would a resistance org give the system a heads up?
The real resistance is, by necessity, an underground resistance. You'll need to do some digging before you find it.
If noticeable actions happened by anyone, the media would eat it up. A smart group of people would never claim ownership of an event, they would just let it happen.
I never said heads up so I dunno how to answer that.
I think that you’re just making up a bunch of shit to make you feel like a badass.
I’m going to guess you didn’t see the question, instead of you dodging it… so I’ll ask again. Do you favor the MAGA “movement” over the anti-MAGA “movement?”
My apologies, I thought it was obvious that we're talking about organizing against MAGA here.
I guess I'm not understanding what you're expecting. What do you need to see before you consider a resistance org valid?
Edit: Actually, I just looked through the thread and you never actually asked me the question you're accusing me of dodging. I don't think you're operating in good faith here, so have a nice day.
I’d need to see actual resistance. Standing on a corner isn’t resistance. Action is resistance. Can you provide a specific example of an action that any anti-fascist person or group has done? Anything?
I get a feeling that our mutual aid network and plans on how to protect the immigrant community in my neighborhood if ICE shows up aren't what you'd consider "real action" either.
I don't think any action will be enough to satisfy you, and if there was, you'd just say I'm lying. I cannot convince you if you do not want to look farther than your own preconceptions.
Yeah that’s nice, but it’s not gaining any ground. I don’t think you’re the right person to talk to about this.
How is more than doubling in size in less than a month "not gaining ground"?
I mean gaining ground on fascism in general. I’m not saying what you’re doing isn’t great, but it’s not fighting fascism. It’s just protecting your own community’s immigrants as well as you can while fascism inevitably conquers the country. That’s not what I’m looking for.
TIL the people who hid jews in the attic weren't fighting fascism.
False equivalence.
Okay, so if setting up mutual aid isn't fighting fascism, what have you been doing to fight fascism so I can learn from your example
Setting up mutual aid is a humanitarian effort.
Alas, I can’t prove anything to you because that would be admitting to a crime in public. I’m sure that you can agree that would be a dumb thing to do just to win a squabble on the internet.
So you do understand why nobody's talking about their antifascist actions online. Why you've gotta actually show up to group meetings before you hear about it.
You said earlier there weren't any because all you saw were furries dancing, and that you didn't show up to the group meetings. You're not seeing antifascist action because you're being lazy.
Yawn.
You’re just purposefully missing the point to argue. You go do your thing, which is a great thing to do.
