"Do not obey in advance." - Dr. Timothy Snyder
Many are familiar with authoritarianism and fascism expert Dr. Timothy Snyder. His book "On Tyranny", is the seminal guidebook for defense of democracy.
When Snyder admonishes us to 'not obey in advance', he is saying to not be bullied into acceptance of things we find abhorrent, and thereby allow them to be 'normalized'. Right now there is an concerted effort to quiet those who call out "fascism". Do not obey in advance.
