Nina spitting truths as always. She's on fire recently, so follow her if you're not doing so already.
To be clear; everyone working in my government, particularly after today, is a Nazi, or someone who works for Nazis. Do you know what we call people who worked for the Nazis, in the Nazi government? Yes, that is correct, Nazis.
So Machado is certainly not gonna feel lonely on the list of people on my TV who are definitely Nazis.
Oh, was that too harsh? Are you feeling bad for the good career civil servants, working for the literal fucking Nazis, who I have just impuned? Cool, let's refer back to that part where I said I was surrounded by people who openly recognize that this is fascism, and ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY refuse to accept what that actually means.
We call people, who worked for the Nazi Party, in the Nazi government, Nazis. Nobody says "the Nazi government and the career civil servants who hated them but stayed."
"They'll just find someone else."
Then let them. "I took the job at the concentration camp because I was sure Hitler would find someone else" was not a good defense in court last time, and it won't be this time either.
This is a bad take, capitalist and the Nazis running the government don't give two shits if a couple people quit to clear their conscience. If your in a productive part of the government, healthcare, sanitation, infrastructure etc. that isn't directly contributing to the camps then don't quit, organize. Start agitating to create a union, if there already is one, agitate within it, maybe you'll get fired anyway but if you've integrated yourself into the workplace more by fighting for a union then your fellow workers will have more sympathy, be more angry at the boss who is trying to suppress speech and be more likely to follow you and withhold their labor then if you just yelled "Fuck ICE" as you quit.
Change won't come from individual uncoordinated silent acts of conscience, it comes through building solidarity with your fellow workers and fighting together.
This is all if you work in a part of the government that actually helps people, if you are working in ICE, defense contractors, etc. then yeah quit your job.
First quit, then organise. If people keep doing their government job, fascism will run better. Only sabotage from within would work, but that's a pretty poor career path.
Their spot will be filled with a yes man for the party. Better to organize in your position of power and let them fire or remove you forcefully than to give up your seat.
Quitting won't help here, imo.
Sure, but maybe one that is less capable at the position, thus slowing down everything and everyone around them.
