I mean a lot of people don't want to have their way of life userped by these radical idiots. One side is calling for a civil war and the other side is effectively campaigning for concentration camps. Normal people don't want to engage with either brand of insanity. They just want to go to work and go home, spend time with their family.
The left is not calling for a Civil War. They’re demanding basic human rights for everyone, and the capitalists have made it clear they’d rather kill everyone.
If you feel equally threatened by the left and the right, it’s because you support fascism. You just prefer a lighter flavor of it that you benefit from.
"Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."
But sometimes history comes along and says "too bad." There is no historical precedent for fascism or extreme wealth inequality being corrected by electoral politics.
If you're able to comfortably sit on the fence, recognize two facts: One, that's a position of entitlement (Plenty of people are already having their lives destroyed by what's happening). Two, being passive is choosing to allow authoritarianism to win.
To reiterate, I'm not a Tankie. I don't whitewash the heinous history of revolutions, upheaval, and failed government systems. And I am positive that I'm screaming into the void. In every historical example I've studied, the comfortable middle class eventually sides with elite authority and not the peasants. And the peasants always lose. But the alternative is too awful to surrender to. Centralized techno-fascism and eventual catastrophic conflict with China are what's in-store.
I don’t believe that’s true. I’m not aware of any revolution the peasants lost.
