It is no longer an abstract question for me as to what I would have done if I had been an ordinary German citizens living through the reign of Hitler to resist the war crimes committed by my country.

I now know exactly what that is like, and I am ashamed to say I am doing jack shit about it. In fact, it might be even worse than that. The Nazis tried to keep their genocide under wraps, I am guessing not a lot of ordinary German citizens actually knew about the gas chambers, they maybe only knew that jews were being rounded up and forcibly moved into labor camps (which is in itself horrible enough). But when America commits genocide, everyone knows about it and still choose to do nothing.

And I still see morons write opinion articles with titles like "Trump is a threat to democracy!" What fucking democracy is there to speak of in the US anymore? Did everyone in America just decide, "hey, you know what, genocide of Gaza is important to me," and therefore both political parties now run pro-genocide candidates? No, there was never any choice to begin with, because there is no fucking democracy in the US.

I think the main question the vast majority of the people in my orbit have is how to join and participate in a true revolution. Where the hell do we sign up? Who do we talk to? What platform should we be on? I will gladly fight like hell for this country but we can't all takethe Luigi Express to get there. I love his passion but all that will do is land me in jail and that's pretty counter productive in the long run. So what are our options?
