A Brief, Practical Guide To Radical Resistance

For me, the concept of Radical Resistance is more of an ideological issue than an excuse to, like blow stuff up. I am very much more MLK than Lenin in that respect (not to sound too painfully self-aggrandizing.)

So, briefly, the issue is more what people could do collectively if we could somehow radicalize the proletariat, shall we say, on this issue. That’s why getting the #NeverTrumpers on board would be great — those guys are really smart and could articulate to a lot of more conservative people why they should, say, contribute support through advocacy and money.

As I have mentioned, there’s a fatal flaw to all my talk of Radical Resistance — time. What I propose would have to happen, like, now, for it to matter. If we don’t get Trump by August 2019, then we don’t get him until sometime after 2020, if ever.

In some respects, what a Radical Resistance could do is limited in the short term unless it catches on in a big way quickly. You could go to a protest, advocate online, that kind of things.

But what we need is something, I personally, can’t provide — an app. I can articulate the need, but building an app to connect a radical resistance movement together immediately is not something I have I have natively in my skillset.

Or, on an even more basic level, I guess the issue is I know how quixotic this is. Some external event would have to happen at this point for there to be the opportunity for Radical Resistance.

All this talk of Radical Resistance is more my personal frustration with House Democrats than anything else, I guess. So, in that sense, I guess this post is kind of pointless. Or I’m not smart enough.

Or both.
