But that's not action.
If you recognize now that it's fascism, that means that for the last 10 years, you probably weren't doing enough.
That means you had a lot of time, lost time to make up for.
What I would urge is that
Because there was that article in Atlantic, but there have been a bunch of statements like this, and there's about to be a bunch more.
What I would urge people to do is to first get involved in their communities, first join some kind of organization, and then rather than counting on confessing and seeming like a good person because you're confessing a mistake, rather than doing that, tell your followers how you are engaged in your community.
Give them an idea of what they can do.
Because just owning up to your mistake is not actually action.
It's nice.
It's good.
It's fine.
But what's really important is if you have that analysis, that you show where that analysis has led you, what actions you're now taking.
Spread that.
Yeah, I'm with you.
The thing I'm going to add is that what we should be doing is circling in glory the people we admire.
I like this person's podcast.
This was the local organizer of the protest I went to.
Naming and praising the people who do good things, because on the left, this is a problem.
That like we have this sort of like if the person isn't, you know, a perfect, beautiful, virgin messiah, then like or whatever, you know, like if they're not all these things, if they're not flawless, then we pick at the flaws, you know, or we look for hypocrisy.
And then when we imagine that we find a little bit of hypocrisy or imperfection, that somehow we've done something, but we haven't done anything.
