I really can’t understand where this concept comes from because I’ve been up and down the East coast of the US and I’ve talked with a lot of different communities. I’ve found more listening ears and sympathetic people in the hoods, rural communities, impoverished suburbs, etc.

Is there reactionaries? Yes, of course, but the amount who actually want to harm people vs the amount who are relatively good, have no idea about politics, or are willing to hear out your side is vastly stark. Arguably 30/70, or even 50/50 if we are being vague. It also depends on where you go, I’ve found far more enemies in the gentrified downtowns of blue states than I have heavily mixed rural southern towns. Same with the mostly liberal colleges vs the impoverished suburbs.

The big thing is so many get caught up in the frequency illusion, especially with social media. The loudest and most annoying reactionaries online say the most insane shit because they feel untouchable and like they can get away with it, but that doesn’t automatically translate to irl daily life. Those loud mfs are loud for a reason, they compensate for their lack by functioning off bias & anger and only invite the unhinged like them. Most people are not that invested, often because they have too much going on in their own lives or rely on establishment beliefs, or even no beliefs because they’re disillusioned by the system and checked out of it all (which is a large chunk of the US rn).

America may have its higher than usual amount of reactionaries, but that’s because we are a safe haven for them. At the end of the day there is far more potential allies than there is enemies and giving into the political nihilism and doomerism that “everyone is bad” is simply suicidal and unrealistic.

Ok

Thank you! If you can, share it around.

Thank you, if you can, spread it around other spaces on other platforms. And yeah, I learned a while back that disregarding them doesn’t work, too many will flow to them out of fear and we need to do what we can to expose them and stop their reach.

Thank you! After discovering what was happening with the recent rise of Fuentes I just threw myself at creating this as quickly as possible. If you could I would ask that you spread this across the internet and to folks you know, their plans need to be exposed to as many as possible.

Zohran upsets all the worse people because he’s a brother in faith and comrade in arms. He’s got the capitalists, neoliberals, fascists, Zionists and other scum seething.
