how do we get ahead of the fascists, on the ground level, at leveraging the contradictions? How do we, as agitators, at an individual level, bring the people in our lives who are pissed at the system into our tent before they do?

Their friends and family, typically. It’s…disturbing or interesting depending on how you put it the amount of people in the circle of a reactionary that have an appeal or openness to another view that they keep entirely separate from their family, friend, etc. I think it’s more so about encouraging people to make divisive choices based on those beliefs…like not having friends with human pieces of shit but a lot of the times this isn’t easy as atomization and desperation in the core render a lot of us impotent against those things.

Being a rock to lean on, a mirror to look into and a good friend goes a longer way than you may think from personal experience. It’s hard how to put or quantify that into masses, though. I apologize if I don’t contribute much, I ponder the same thing myself as well.
