Here are some ideas:

  • Do a risk assessment for your specific situation and relationships and work to reduce your risk
  • Form stronger bonds with people in your community
  • Read history and the mechanisms of similar situations
  • Work to reduce fascists radicalization where you can (hint: probably not online)
  • Stop enabling whiny “there’s nothing we can do” bullshit

Definitely agree that the faster fascism gets interrupted the better. 👍🏻

They have a strong individualist consumer culture. If they can’t individually consume their way out of it, many of them think they’ve done everything they can.

People are mad at Americans collectively because collectively your culture let this happen–so what people want to see is the slightest inkling that you understand the nature of the problem, have a sense of responsibility about it, and are shifting your mindsets to do something about it.

Coming online to whine at Canadians doesn’t inspire confidence that you get it.

Personally, I’m just hoping that I’m what I’m seeing online is not representative of what Americans are doing because yeah… Some of the online American response I have been seeing… Woof.
