Big and fast may work in some contexts, but ultimately a truly fascist government will always be bigger and always be faster. And it will aim to scare us, turn us against each other, and force us to choose our own safety and wellbeing over our democratic cause. The way to address that is by flipping the idea on its head: instead of big and fast, we need to go small and slow. Instead of centralization of our own power, splitting up our power into many places will allow us to adapt and not lose an entire movement if one part of it is targeted.
