The big difference between modern anti fascists and latter day anti fascists was Roosevelt's reimagined Democratic party.

If Prescott Bush or Hoover still held the White House in 1941, there's a good chance America would have been an Axis Power.

Slacktivism is when you're doing the yeoman's work of community organizing behind the scenes.

Activism is when you've got a heavily corporate sponsored YouTube channel, you're doing cable news speaking circuits, and you're telling college grads to get back in the kitchen during commencement ceremonies.
