Insanely well put and underrated comment.

I really want to be happy about the turnout for No Kings. I wanted to be, but I actually followed the coverage of several sites of protests. Most of them were over in less than 2 hours from what I saw. It was like a weekend lunch break for most people, and they even brough their infant children with them because they couldn't be arsed with a babysitter.

If anyone believes it won't be back to business as usual in the Fourth Reich on monday they are delusional. You need to care a hell of a lot more than that to stop a fascist regime, and the horrible sad truth is that most Americans just don't. They've been bred to be far too individualist to give more than the just bare minimum. The moment it becomes an inconvenience for them they're over it.

This was a PR stunt at best. A corporate email stating "We're working hard to dismantle the regime. We have our best people on it. Pizza party next Friday."

For the uninitiated: The Alt-Right Playbook's "You Go High, We Go Low"

"Treat the situation like it's fair... because that's what they should have done when it actually was"

Because you're taking an authoritarian approach over policing other people's hobbies and interests, many of who are trans and queer themselves. The franchise is regarded as a "comfort series" for many people who grew up with it, especially kids in abusive households as those demographics tend to gravitate towards fantasy series like Harry Potter and LOTR the most.

Why is having empathy for people different from you such a controversial concept?
