    Disengage, let the next four years of hell simply wash over you and leave you unaffected while you selfcare your way to stopping literal fascism. What amazing activism.

      When shit’s this bad we’re talking about suicide prevention, and massive crippling burnout prevention.

      Your point’s not wrong, and it’s important in many contexts but it’s not that close to the bullseye in such a wack-ass circumstance, I think.

      Yeah but they will not be in the way of militants.
      Ideally they are silent.

      Go elsewhere and don’t disturb activists instead trying stop their actions because “you are bored”

      Don’t be mistaken, I agree …
