Jfc, no. Any work I may be doing does not need to be proven to you, and disclosing any of it would only be putting myself at risk. Do you even understand what kind of shit the feds are trying to use for digital surveillance? Or that our TSA literally are checking phones of people coming into our borders for anti-Trump social media posts? Why would I ever fucking tell you or anyone anything I participate in? That’s just how out of touch you are if you think I should.
My point is that what is happening to the US is happening and will continue to happen because of people like you insisting that they’re doing enough and getting defensive when anyone says otherwise.
It’s fine, keep it up. The fascists are counting on it.
It’s easy to point blame at something or someone when you’re completely unaffected by the problem and have zero personal stake. What I’m trying to tell you is that everyone needs to prioritize their own privacy online and it wouldn’t matter if I was a resistance general or the just the random dude on the street. We all have something to lose.
The only thing I will say is that I do work for government myself. No, it’s not an elected position, and no I’m not someone high up in legislation or anything like that. But I have been a public employee for decades now and my own state has proven that they can and will work to have someone forcefully resigned based on unfavorable social media posts.
So again, no.
But also “because of people like you” is exactly the kind of shit we should be fighting against saying in the first place, my dude. Because that leads to generalizations that those in power do take advantage of.
It’s great that your job is so important to you. It’s a good thing nobody else in history who ever fought back against great odds had jobs or families or anything to worry about.
What is this “it” you think has been tried that “hasn’t worked yet”?
Do you think parades with cute little signs are “doing something”? What am I thinking, of course you do.
“People are trying.” 😅 Nobody is trying. Going to a protest in a Saturday is less than nothing. If I’m wrong, show your work.

Right, I’m sure you’re a fuckin’ general in the massive underground resistance that’s going to pop up any day now
And I’m sure your uncle works for Nintendo. What’s your fucking point?

You can’t fight from the inside if you’re on the outside.
