I feel there is very little we can do individually to change people's minds or turn them away from fascism, or even to get them to stop turning their own brains into soup, but you can still show them there are consequences to their actions.

Telling my own friends / relations what I think of them and cutting ties with them has done nothing to bring them back in line with normal human values, but at least I am not burdened with the guilt of my association, and maybe one day enough people will cut them off that the loneliness gets to them and they begin to re-evaluate their lives.

It is literally the least I can do. Any sadness I felt was heartbreak that they could be so shitty to begin with.

      idk what you mean by that but I'm pretty sure any successful revolution will necessarily involve dealing with reactionaries one way or another in order to survive, although purely theoretical because it is never gonna happen here I can give you a big long list of undesirables in need of some kinda re-education and it begins with landlords and business owners

        Given the current stage of class struggle that a lot of countries we're in, struggle sessions is not anything we even need to think about
