      There are effective ways to fight fascism.

      These are based on showing people there is a better way, and in particular showing average people that the left is working for them.

      And then there are ways that directly embolden fascism by senselessly cratering the lives of everyday people thereby driving the masses directly into the arms of the far right.

      You can’t just disentangle overnight, unfortunately. And I’m sorry but if you don’t think backlash is something that can/should be mitigated by an effective strategy then you haven’t been paying attention.

      A far more effective antidote to fascism is mutual aid.

          What are you even talking about? Engagement in local politics and mutual aid is at historic lows, in large part due to the influence of US central social media corporations.
