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.

I am 12 and this is very deep

Riots also gave rise to mussolini and hitler so idk if this is such a W sentiment. Yes riots can be good, but riots arent inherently good.

Basically, there are good riots and bad riots.

Be part of the good riots.

There are riots, and their moral motivations and overall effect will vary

There need to be riots and their effectiveness will decide the fate of the US population.

The Reign of Terror wasn’t a walk in the park by any stretch.

Didn't say it was. People should be individually and collectively prepared for shit to go real sideways. The age of peaceful transition of power in the US is over, and hopefully when we're through this, we'll be more like modern France.

Riots can mean change

In if the change persists and is successful, then this rioters are heros
