Some of the key factors can be summed up with an acronym devised by Charles Tilly:

W.U.N.C.

Worthiness
Unity
Numbers
Commitment

I take #1 for granted, so I'll focus on 2-4.

Small, fragmented mobilizations are rarely transformative. Large movements with a diverse range of participants can be.

#5050protest on Feb 5 was a good starting point, but more is required.

This will need to move from a one-off venting of despair to a regular exercise of social power.

Monthly.
Weekly.
Daily.

@stefan

I so dislike these *womp womp* pieces.

OF COURSE you can't post/click your way out of fascism. It's merely one tool in the battle.

We need lawsuits.
Mass mobilization and protest.
Public art.
Community meetings.
Phone calls, letters.
Money.
Etc.

But social networks matter. Otherwise, we wouldn't be concerned w people like Musk and Zuckerberg.

People are learning here. Finding resources here. Sharing projects here. Staging.

The info ecosystem matters.
