These two statements are not contradictory, and I wish folks would stop treating them as if they were.

1) *Every* *single* *act* of resistance helps.
2) *No* *single* *act* of resistance will fix this.

Did you buy a work of art direct from an artist instead of through a middleman company?

1) That helps.
2) That won't be enough.

Did you march today?

1) That helps.
2) That won't be enough.

Did you fucking *vote*?

1) That helps.
2) That won't be enough.

Were you kind to someone for no personal benefit to yourself?

1) That helps.
2) That won't be enough.

Are you boycotting Harry Potter?

1) That helps.
2) That won't be enough.

This isn't a minmax problem. There is no best way to defeat fascism. There is no one thing that will do the trick.

We need tens of thousands, we need *millions* of acts of resistance. And every single one of them will help, and every single one of them will be insufficient.

Nobody can carry a stone big enough to outweigh the power and hatred of fascism.

But the scale doesn't care whether it's one stone, or a hundred, or a thousand, or a million.

Bring your pebble.

Personal chats (me and others, after-work work or whatever)

And my 1 is follow my (on this hashtag here ➡️ )

Challenge might tips,, let us see if they are too wrong (lots of forgiving space here). Thanks
