I interviewed an old guy who fought in the spanish civil wars and he had this massive collection of pamphlets and leaflets and newsletters and posters from that period and, let me assure you, other than design, style, and medium, the messaging was consistent with current sarcastic memes and even shitposts. That stuff is important.
Effective resistance strategy incorporates many tactics. You look to your expertise, and draw strength from others where you can.

The Spanish Civil War did not end well for antifascists. People were making fun of Francisco Franco well into his late 70s.

They did manage to blow up a minister though.

Yep but that’s a separate issue, geopolitics at play. Fascists and conservatives support each other internationally. I guess you can only assassinate character with a meme lol.
