Progressive Politics

I mean, we need a nationwide action plan, and that doesn’t happen locally.

It actually can start locally. Let's say, for instance, Chicago starts a single-day citywide strike. That demonstrates to other cities that it can be done; it bridges the imagination gap. Then maybe we have multiple cities in the midwest start striking. And perhaps soon, the east coast. And it spreads from there.

They really is just nothing we can do as citizens at this point. Get out if you can, or buy a gun.

Okay doomer. 😄

But seriously, I encourage you not to give up this early in the "game." If you do, you are complicit with the authoritarians. Find your local people doing resistance work. Resist alongside them. Don't give up hope.
