the favorite passtime of libs is to say "we're heading into fascism" to shame others into voting for their -1% fascist candidate but not doing anything about it and never thinking about how fascism comes to be
There's nothing an individual can do that doesn't stray into adventurism, but pretending like voting for Democrats is gonna do anything and spending any amount of organizational energy on that empty well is counter productive.
Volunteering at a local soup kitchen does infinitely more for socialism and countering fascism than voting for Dems.
Same thing individuals have done every other time this has happened; get several million of your best friends and start killing fascists. Idk what's so hard about this. what to do is easy and obvious. How to do it? That's tricky. But what to do is well established and indisputable.
Spend 1% of the time and energy you use screaming at people to vote for Joe to join and help an organization doing actual on the ground work, organizing protests, educating people, striking or helping those who are by joining them on the picket lines. Showing up to counter fascists when they march in the streets. Spending 1% of the time you currently do screaming vote blue on those things instead would be 100 times more impactful than what you are currently doing.

What would you suggest an individual interested in preventing fascism should do in the western world?
It isn't the end all be all of antifascism, but joining an organization is a great start!
ideally an anti-fascist organization!
Yes I'm sorry I should have specified.
