As Republicans target vital public services to offset a massive deficit caused by tax cuts for the rich, Bernie Sanders is taking action. His “National Tour to Fight Oligarchy” aims to empower Americans against the rise of authoritarianism and kleptocracy. #FightOligarchy
Organizing: coming together as a group to plan about shared interests.
No Sanders is not needed as a Sheppard, neither is he trying to be. You really are missing the point.
People bond with eachother. To know your neighbors, to build stronger communities including knowing who is willing to come out armed to defend those communities.
What should mothers and children do in this climate? Hold riffles? Hide in a basement? If you don’t know the answer you must start with organizing.
Don’t wait for Sanders.
“Hold rifles”? Against what exactly? The same system you’re too busy romanticizing with your kumbaya organizing? Guns won’t fix structural rot when the foundation is already compromised. You’re not arming a revolution; you’re cosplaying as resistance while the machine laughs at your theatrics.
And “showing face”? That’s just a euphemism for performative solidarity. Strengthening bonds without challenging power structures is like reinforcing a sinking ship. You don’t need neighbors with guns; you need strategies that dismantle the mechanisms of oppression, not feed into their narrative.
Stop pretending Sanders is leading anything meaningful. He’s not your savior, and your fantasies of armed community defense are just that—fantasies. Wake up.
Gotto be honest your comments smell like trollshit
Please do go ahead and organize strategies to dismantle oppression. It is exactly what we need. This is not irony. I mean it.
Like i said: Do not wait for Sanders he is just setting example of what everyone should be doing. Nothing more.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world: indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.
— Margaret Mead
Margaret Mead’s quote is about revolutionary change, not romanticizing performative gestures. You’ve grossly misappropriated her words to defend hollow organizing without a plan. Thoughtful, committed citizens dismantle systems—they don’t idolize figureheads or play house with oppression. Mead would roll her eyes.
