    We don’t need historians. We need people who are willing to risk their career to put up a fight. Documenting is just a word for being a bystander and let it happen.

      You need both.

      You need people to fight now, and people to document the shit out of this to cut through as much propaganda as possible for the future.

      The current regime has already started to rewrite history, documenting the truth is putting up a fight!

      The Palantir threat model specifically says only a fringe will put up a fight right now.

      There’s a projected line in the sand where people stand up, but so long as you stay on one side, you’re safe, and the scary thing is, you can push that line and it will move.

      The plan is to be super aggressive now to move the line, then 12 months from now to act all domestic abuser who regrets it and love bombing to cancel out most of the anger before the midterms.

      In their defense, this is exactly how Reagan did it and it worked.
