Comrades, with the recent news coming from the concentration camps in Georgia and Texas, I have been feeling incredibly complicit about what I see as a lack of action from the average person on getting the detainees out.

I've often felt disgust towards the citizens of other fascistic regimes throughout history, and how they did nothing while people less privileged than they were slaughtered. Now, I am feeling that same disgust for myself, but I don't know what is to be done.

I don't want to make a call to violence, but I know that neither Biden nor Trump will actually change the conditions of these camps. And, at the same time, I don't want to wait for the inevitable years-long "investigation" into these abuses to end up saying "yep, it was genocide," or worse. Am I crazy for wanting to see actual physical resistance against these camps and the people running them? Am I crazy for wanting to be a part of that resistance?

I just know that I would have wanted to be brave enough to resist Nazis had I been alive in Eastern Europe during their regime. Unfortunately, it feels like that level of resistance to genocide and discrimination will never happen on a wide scale here. Idk just feeling helpless and complicit in my inaction

      Once you commit to an act and are no longer just talk, you must commit. Full sincerity. There is no irony in a foxhole, only cold reality and a hope that you will either see tomorrow or be remembered by those who have.
