Authoritarian governments rely on fear, submission, and the illusion of control. They want you tame.

Whether it’s silencing dissent, rewriting history, or criminalizing protest, resistance is not just a right, it’s a duty. You don’t wait for permission to fight back. You leap.

Stay loud. Stay defiant. #resist

🐾 Creeping Authoritarianism Looks Like This:

• Leaders discrediting the press as “fake news”
• Gradual weakening of judicial independence
• Demonizing dissenters and activists
• Using fear (crime, immigration, threats) to justify control
• Consolidating power in the executive branch
• Shifting laws to favor one party or leader indefinitely
• Surveillance creeping into everyday life
• Censorship disguised as “protection” or “patriotism”
• Loyalty tests over competence for public positions
• Protesters labeled as threats instead of citizens with rights

Sounds familiar?

Authoritarianism thrives on obedience, silence, and submission. But resistance doesn’t always start with a roar. It can begin with a small, defiant sound. A hiss. A voice. A stand.

Speak out, even when it feels small. Especially then.
