    They certainly are, I agree! But they’re cowards.

    Republicans only want to fight the weakest opponents, in rigged matches, and they still gotta cheat. Even a little resistance, when we stand together, dissolves their cotton candy confidence.

    I was lucky enough to see a small piece of what that kind of resistance looks like on Sunday after canvassing. The organizers did us a solid and got us into a rally in queens that was packed. The energy was really encouraging, especially seeing all the other volunteers and various groups that are actually showing up, to help and to fight. It mirrors a lot of the grassroots movements and community building popping up in many cities and towns across the country.

    It’s encouraging because it illustrates victory directly. Standing up for each other in spite of those threats of violence is courage, and historically that’s the strongest “antifa weapon” we know, because fascism can only lose wherever courage remains.

    Platform safety barriers

    True! The subway here is just hobbling along compared to the nice trains over there lol

    massive Worldwide version of the Schengen area

    I don’t think that’s terribly far-fetched! In our lifetime I think we’ll see more superfederal international governments coalesce, a world with clear borders, fewer weapons, and a collective focus on common goals.

    where everyone is tolerant of each other, no more scarcity, no more conflict

    Hell yeah. Honestly I think the global rise of fascism predicts that coming together. That society is just too organized and united to be bought and divided by the wealthiest. It would explain why they’ve done their best to increase conflict and fear everywhere, to stop the clock of progress and carve out their little kingdoms. Either way, it’s only delaying the inevitable, because deep down everyone knows that this period of housekeeping is well worth the world on the other side.

    See you there :)
