Mutual aid is natural. Individualism is manufactured. Let's get back to our roots and tear down the walls that individualism has built.

In the words of Open Democracy Net, mutual aid resolves issues from the bottom up, not from the top down.

FACT: Immigrants are 60% LESS likely to commit a crime than an American born citizen. It's been studied for decades and immigrants make our community + nation SAFER, not more dangerous.

FACT: Immigrants contribute BILLIONS to our economy and don't benefit from the systems they pay into.

FACT: No human being is illegal... especially when you consider we are on stolen land.

1. Understand how doom filled headlines aim to manipulate you.
2. Focus on the science, and on the fact that scientists see a path forward.
3. Take action, because the future you make possible when you act is one worth working for.

Rule 1

Don’t look down on them, don’t patronize them, even if you know what they’re saying has no factual basis or you find it offensive. Don’t preach, ask questions. Try to understand them, where they are coming from, what their problems are and why they see solutions to them in the regime. Treat them as people, as equals.

Rule 2

Don’t get emotional, don’t get provoked into heated arguments. Fight the other side’s emotions with your calm, logical approach. The angrier they get, the calmer you should be.

Rule 3

Focus on what you have in common. Do you live in the same neighborhood? Do you work in the same company or sector? The smaller the community, the easier it is.

Rule 4

Use their language, don’t treat it as inferior or below you – don’t seem patronizing (see rule 1). If they curse, curse with them. If they approach you with humor, don’t get angry or uptight about it, reply with humor. As long as you communicate on two different planes, you will never meet.

Rule 5

Don’t block their news sources, don’t turn away from their leaders and authority figures. Use them to your advantage, to better prepare for their arguments. Whenever you don’t agree with something or detect a lie, voice it calmly, expose it with factual arguments.

Rule 6

Pinpoint the practical, negative effects of their side’s actions, ones that affect them directly. Find examples of how they, their families, children or friends will be personally impacted by their policies, or how it will affect your shared community.

Rule 7

If all else fails, don’t turn away, don’t abandon your friends and family, don’t shun your neighbors. Remember, an authoritarian wants to divide you to control you. So invite them over to your BBQ, crack open a beer, and who knows, maybe they’ll realize you’re not so different after all.

be strong, fight, endure, and remember you’re on the good side of history.

EVERY authoritarian, totalitarian and fascist regime in history eventually failed, thanks to the PEOPLE.

– With love, your Eastern European friends

What to expect under an authoritarian regime:

1. Democratic election through fear mongering.

2. They will divide + rule.

3. They will subjugate media outlets to create a propaganda machine.

4. They will create a sense of chaos + fear.

5. They will distort truth and lie to create confusion.

6. They will slander their "enemies"

7. They will create distractions to fight while they pass more insidious legislation to dismantle democracy.

8. They will further marginalize groups.

9. They will attempt to dismantle the courts, the checks + balances.

10. They will limit our ability to protest + assemble.

11. They will distort language and steal words.

12. They will take over national symbols.

13. They will rewrite history.

14. They will alienate foreign powers.

15. They will manipulate our electoral system to fit their agenda.

be strong, fight, endure, and remember you’re on the good side of history.

EVERY authoritarian, totalitarian and fascist regime in history eventually failed, thanks to the PEOPLE.
