# You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism

You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism:

If there’s one thing I’d hoped people had learned going into the next four years of Donald Trump as president, it’s that spending lots of time online posting about what people in power are saying and doing is not going to accomplish anything. If anything, it’s exactly what they want.

and…

We don’t need any more irony-poisoned hot takes or cathartic, irreverent snark. We need to collectively decide what kind of world we actually do want, and what we’re willing to do to achieve it.

Everyone keeps trying to post their way out of it, though. Seems like.

As for me, I don’t post about it. I donate, I write letters, I sign petitions. It’s not much, but I’m certain it’s better than pointing and yelling at people on social media.
