Wrote previously of difference between fighting fascists, on one hand, and fighting fascism, on the other.
One might punch a Nazi, or two, or five, even a whole hoard of such, yet however much catharsis and yes—momentary safety—such fisticuffs may provide, this Whac-A-Mole serves to divert energy & attention from the machinery that generates a continuous supply of fist-ready targets.
The generators of fascists, these being fascism, must be taken on. This is the work student protests are doing.
"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics. /
