the main point of saying voting is the way to defeat fascism is to stop people from rioting, going on strike etc
on tactics (against fascists)
@garfiald I'm pretty sure that fascism both produces demagogues and draws them in from outside. So a fascist who gets anywhere near power almost certainly has a cult of personality that's ready to treat them as a martyr, possibly including a junior demagogue who could take over in their absence. Cutting off the head is necessary but not sufficient.
@garfiald that's not the only political thing
wanting human rights is also politics /s
@assdemon i'm kidding, btw
making fun of chuds who scream about "muh politics" every time a marginalized person says "hey please let me live a full life"
@garfiald in times of intense urgency, a call to a member of Congress might be required.
@garfiald really frustrating how the least effective political action (voting, calling your senators, donations) is the most normalized
@SunSaint I wonder how this happened!
the overwhelming majority of people have been successfully convinced that "politics" is when you make one extremely limited choice every 4-5 years. every other form of political action is a crime
