Yes AND.
Don't waste your energy or their enthusiasm by telling someone they are doing it wrong.

"It takes a village, but not everyone is in your village. That's ok.
Cobble your village together from the smoldering wreckage of the city or country around you.
This is the essence of mutual aid and will be more crucial than ever. Mutual aid isn't just giving money to the friend whose city burnt down before yours.
Share your knowledge. Share your wisdom & your fears. Share your compassion. Share your joy and your tears. Share your skills & yes, even your bills."

Federal data is disappearing. On Thursday (TODAY), meet the teams working to rescue it and learn how you can help.
Join the Internet Archive and the Library Innovation Lab on Feb. 13, 3pm Eastern for a special event exploring the terabytes of data they have already saved and how to access it.
These times are too much for any thinking, feeling person to handle.
That's why RPGs are better with a party. 
Unfortunately IRL local #community & #MutualAid groups are tough to come by for a variety of reasons. One of my many goals is to encourage them whenever possible, but until then we have the Fediverse.
I wonder how many people reading this are lonely. Do you have more time on your hands than friends?
If so, are you willing to do 2 simple things? 1)Reply to this thread,then 2) find someone else who has replied and say hi

"The goal isn't to destroy the State to rebuild an anarcho-syndicalist replacement, eventually.
The goals should be to build a better alternative, from the ground up, that's there to catch the people when the state inevitably collapses."

I'll be tagging these posts with #FediRadio & #FediMusic
Now seems like a great time to mention a couple of organizations that are going to need additional help to meet the need.
Rainbow Railroad & PFLAG
https://www.rainbowrailroad.org
"We help at-risk LGBTQI+ people get to safety.
In countries around the world, LGBTQI+ people face violence and oppression simply because of who they love or who they are. We help them get to safety."
#PFLAG has local chapters throughout the country and provide resources & community to parents of LGBTQ+ kids. I have participated in one of their zoom calls before & they are doing great work.
Atlanta chapter

Has anyone read "They Thought They Were Free"? I haven't, but I just saw it mentioned & looks like I should.
"They Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-45 is a 1955 nonfiction book written by Milton Mayer, published by the University of Chicago Press. It describes the thought process of ordinary citizens during Nazi Germany.
August Heckscher, the chief writer of editorials of the New York Herald Tribune, wrote that the book "suggests how easy it is for human beings in any society to fall prey to a dynamic political movement, provided their lives are sufficiently insecure, frustrated or empty."[1] He stated that the book is simultaneously a discussion on ethics, on "how political tyranny is established", and on issues in Germany and the "German mentality".[1]"
