Good job, you burned that strawman to the ground e a s i l y.
Seriously though, no one believes this would solve everything. And it can still be one thing worth doing for other, smaller reasons.
But since you still have a very obvious point, why don't you skip to the interesting part; how to do better? What's your approach?
Nothing I could possibly say could alter the course of moronic humanity. You cannot even accept an obvious statement of fact without dejection and snark.
Humanity is too stupid to change its fate, and I am not above saying I told you so; at least I recognize saying it changes nothing just like protests change nothing.
Ah yes, the right way to fight fascism is to complain, that the world is shit and do nothing about it. That's the spirit.
There are a lot of people, that fight against fascism daily, who are active in their communities and strive for a better world. The hopes of these people got crushed by the constant negative press and the climb of the right wing in election surveys. Now they see, that they have indeed a backing in the general population. Furthermore it was a huge AfD talking point, that they speak for the silent majority, which is why they attack the protests now by calling them fake or that the protestors were paid by the government.
I understand the idea of galvanizing. Maybe you should grow a brain and realize I want what comes AFTER the galvanizing, not calling to go back to The Before Times™. I want people MORE pissed off and ready to actually DO something.
