You're tight lipped because you're afraid of being called a Nazi, a white supremacist. You're too cowardly to act because "mug optics".

You're going to be banned using major services for supporting the "wrong" candidate.

Normies aren't doing shit and just going along with it since it doesn't directly affect them and they can still have their entertainment. The Free Hong Kong and Cuties reactions gave me hope but complacency set in again and they went back to sleep.
