I absolutely agree that a counterinsurgency is needed--but I am not aware of any organized effort at such, and can't see a way forward. I'm too old to be a foot soldier, but could serve in another capacity. I just don't see it coming together. I'm sorry to admit that the immediate future looks very dark to me. On the other hand, things never end well for tyrants. It may just take a very long time...

I agree with your analysis, whole-heartedly! I've stopped watching MSNBC for these reasons as well. I stopped being a digital soldier for good on twit because I just couldn't keep up with the trolls and bots. I was spending more time just blocking the motherfuckers than spreading good words of deeds and action needed to take place. I've continued to consume multiple writers on fascism and relayed to friends on facebook. I honestly don't know if I am reaching anyone though. Yet, I continue to try. It's something that eats away at me daily. We cannot become numb.
