It is time to start asking ourselves, in all seriousness; "What would you do right now if you knew that fascists were coming."
Because it is so obvious that they are coming.

- metalman 11mo ago"Fascism, like the future, is already here, it's just unevenly distributed". SNAP!
- Noaidi 11mo agoI agree, but I was trying not to be so "controversial" but I see that did not help. Someone already thinks all of this is fine and not authoritarian without providing me with an explanation. Forums will make fun of you for saying that Nazi's are here until they are surrounded by Nazis wondering what happened.

- metalcrow 11mo agoBuy a gun, and learn how to use it. This is good advice even if you don't believe it's necessary.
- unethical_ban 11mo agoFind like minded people you can trust and know who will have whose back if something really goes wrong. Also have a passport and some cash, crypto and/or jewelry to get you out if this goes too far.
- LgWoodenBadger 11mo agoAs if passports can't be revoked electronically now
- unethical_ban 11mo agoSure, fine, don't have one then. Whatever.
- rationalist 11mo agoEven if you don't like guns and don't want to own one, you should know how they work and how they are used properly. Kids used to be taught gun safety in public school. Public schools used to have indoor ranges (I've seen one with my own eyes). When someone learns gun safety, they are less likely to accidentally shoot themselves or someone else if they come across one.

- willis936 11mo agoMake a bug out plan. Assume roads and cars are not an option. Assume you will be able to claim political asylum in another nation. Pack a bag.
- ericmcer 11mo agoWhat nation? All the "democratic" western nations are moving in this direction.
- willis936 11mo agoThis is a survivalist exercise. You're not going to fix the world's problems while trying to avoid being put into a labor camp.

- quesera 11mo ago> Assume roads and cars are not an option Walk to Canada? That works from some areas.
- willis936 11mo agoYes. Or Mexico. It's a longer walk for some more than others, but almost all of the political targets live near coastal cities that are within a month of a border. This would not be a trivial journey, but it would also not be insurmountable for many determined people. Survival ends up being a strong motivator.
- quesera 11mo agoI think this is just an appealing fantasy. 80% of modern Americans would not survive and successfully complete a month-long walk of hundreds of miles. Add in the logistical challenges, necessary supplies, and secrecy ... and of course the possibility of harsh seasonal weather ... and I think we're talking about a 5% survival rate, at the absolute max. People might think they are more likely to be in that 5% than their neighbors, but I suspect most of the dangers are random or universal enough that this would not be true. Fortune favors the prepared, certainly. But that only gets you so far. There is no viable bug out strategy, after a certain point (and that point is far from today, and will likely never be reached). But there are midterm elections, and those are important.
- alistairSH 11mo agoAsked and answered. We, collectively, elected Trump a second time and left a GOP majority in Congress.
- phendrenad2 11mo agoInstitutionalized racism. Police immune to prosecution. Government-backed monopolies. Oligarchy based on proximity to the supreme. Scapegoating various classes of people. False flags. Surveillance economy. Seems to me that whatever we have now is functionally indistinct from fascism. But if it makes you feel better to keep calling it democracy...
