If you’re American, organize locally. Agitation is nice and all, but at this stage I suspect you’d be more screaming at a wall than anything else. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink, as they say, so right now it’s better to get some infrastructure ready for when shit hits the far. If you’re not American, then frankly there’s nothing you can do except hope for the best and brace for the worst, in which case welcome to the club.
Hoping and playing people educate themselves, or pushing people who already mostly have similar base ideals to realize the logical conclusions of our current systems and what this administration is trying to do, and act accordingly?
Education is nice, but there are better ways to do that than policing memes on a small leftist community in the corner of the internet.
There’s also the question if you can trust random strangers on the internet.
I would argue that if you’re doing something that may cause issues under an authoritarian government, it’s best to discuss this with people you actually know and preferably off-line.
