Being nice can be collaboration with the enemy

There's a time to be nice and a time to resist. With rampant fascism in the US Executive what time is it now?

This goes for academics with their head in the clouds of the next best evolutionary system without having their feet stomp on the ground of protest and political activism. Fascists just love it when they stay in their sterile ivory towers and play with themselves.

It also goes to a similar demographic that thinks we can be nice to the fascists, that we can converse and compromise with them, that our good intentions will move them to be more humane. Again, the fascists love this sort of insipid fantasy, for it doesn't challenge them in the necessary ways to defeat them. Fascism ain't nice, and defeating it ain't either.

Hence the fierce fighter Bernie is the spearhead of the people's resistance. And why the fascists hate him, for they know we can defeat them. We've done it before and we'll do it again.
