It only takes 3.5% of the population to stand up and make real change and take fascists out of power.

| Depends on how much power those fascists already have concentrated in their hands. Most people unfortunately are just like drones, living in their small limited bubble and only know what's going on out of it from authorities. They are too lazy to think and feel warm and safe in their self chosen social prison. And they don't understand those 3,5% who stand up and fight, rather believing they're the problem, threatening their petite bourgeois pax fascisma bubble.

I looked at the no kings website and they had that and it was like October 18 or something. I only talk to my cuties and go to work. I’m not going to read news which shits on white people or trans people with the precious time I have in this world when I could spend it with friends or on rest or acquiring resources. If there are protests today I’ll go because I’m off work but I’ll probably hate the people there

George orwell was a socialist, antofacist, antiimperialist and anticapitalist. He fought with leftist republicans against the fascists in the spanish civil war. With his works 1984 and animal farm opposed the fascistoid failures of stalinism BECAUSE he believed in socialism. He was no stupid rightoid antisocialist and capitalists boot licker.

| It only takes 3.5% of the population to stand up and make real change and take fascists out of power. You don't need to be a lion and go out and try to violently take what you want. Defend your freedoms and your lives but peace is the most powerful tool you have. "Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change."
