    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.

      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 …
