In order to work, the #50501movement will need to do the following 3 things: 1. Articulate clear and politically achievable goals 2. Target the capital that supports fascism, not just their representatives in government 3. Scale and escalate #50501protests IMHO, it should also message itself as a "pro-democracy" movement, since Trump and Musk are both profoundly undemocratic but also the US electorial system that lead to Trump/Musk is profoundly undemocratic. 🧵

Long-form analysis on the #50501movement. I found this thread on mastodon interesting, so I thought I’d crosspost here as well

    Thanks for the read.

    I’m currently dealing IRL with people who have their head so far up their ass they’re in denial that this is fascism or that we’ve been couped.

    It’s not going to be obvious to these people until the fascists stop social security and Medicare/Medicaid payments. And even then…

    The decades of destroying education have led us here. People are too stupid and their brains propagandized mush to realize wtf is going on. And those who do have an idea about it don’t want to talk about it because it’s too upsetting.

    I’m so angry.

      I think it’s important to remember as you walk around the street that at least 80% of people have not the slightest idea that any of this is even happening. For them, it’s just a normal day, and everything is fine as long as they have a good day at work. And if you try to tell them what is happening, you’re going to sound like you’re off your rocker about something, like some kind of Alex Jones nut, because you’re so far out of step with their previous cognitive model.

      Education and media are a massive chunk of the problem.
