"Don't bother"? Actions that involve doing nothing
Too much effort, it's already over, don't try, blah, blah, blah.
So, in a US with AR-15-led carnage, the 5 of the SCOTUS losing their frickin' minds, and Republicans gaming the election process and the years 2020-2022 are just a road-bump to fascism, what are we supposed to do about it? Vote? OK, sure, but what else? What happens in the meantime, outside of November? What happens in the odd-numbered years? Well, I've compiled a list from Gene Sharp's 198 nonviolent actions, of which doing the OPPOSITE requires effort, money, and energy. Enjoy... and now nobody has an excuse. Withdrawal and renunciation 52. Silence Ostracism of persons 55. Social boycott 56. Selective social boycott 57. Lysistratic nonaction Noncooperation with social events, customs, and institutions 61.
