The people doing this are evil. What can I do, I’m trapped in NYC by a job I can’t leave, and I have a family, so I’m not going to be a guerilla… but I give it 3 months before idiots on the right start posting their Florida gas chambers

At some point people are going to start having to risk their comfortable lives to resist

Being trapped by a job does not sound like a life of comfort. Leaving my job would mean being flat broke in two weeks and then starving. If you work paycheck to paycheck, you literally cannot afford to risk your lifestyle to resist.

It's possible to organize with people that have the means to help those dedicated to the cause, you don't have to just give up everything and be alone.

I would love to have access to such an organization. Unfortunately, they don't advertise, if they exist, and I'm too poor to found one.
