Left and Right aren’t a useful representation of a person’s political beliefs. I don’t think this cartoon is saying left and right are the same. I think it’s saying that the billionaire class is using useful idiots to help separate the working class and keep them fighting amongst ourselves.
Absolutely push back against what you see as harmful patterns and always support and defend the rights of others. If you hear someone dehumanizing immigrants or LGBTQA+ or any at risk population of course speak up.
But also challenge the logic of that person. Ask them how they believe what they believe and who benefits. You’re never going to reason someone out of a position they never reasoned themselves into, but you can learn the bullshit talking points they’re being fed to head off those effects for someone else.
The only way we fight Fascism in this country will be to empower each other and engender support for anti fascist action. Build mutual aid in your community and be as involved as possible politically.
