I loved that graphic.
It depicted a tyrant wielding a whip while a crowd of people cowered in front of him and then one person stands up and then another and then another and by the end the tyrant is cowering.

What was awesome was I think it was a graphic from Indivisible.

I am so sick of the lame gamer worldview- it’s not guns nor hacking expertise etc. What gave most of us average people any damn rights is grassroots activism like that, not some sleazy little apolitical arg or worse one shilled as pro democracy etc.

Just standing up to the fascists and not with a bloody trashy TED tech talk or sleazy little product in tow, but defense of your own humanity is enough.
Thats why I post here and not on Facebook.

Thank you. You inspired me CrispyQ. You all do and thank you for that .
