And yet, as with any disease, outlook depends on many factors. The number of cells in the immune system that recognize an infection, for example, can radically alter its progression.

A sudden widespread immune response may be all that can save the organism following an initial exposure, but often a more targeted, adaptive, and coordinated immune response is possible later. It mostly depends on how much of the body recognizes the infection and does its part to block its spread.

It takes a hell of a lot more courage to hold the line with your comrades, like this judge did by laying the groundwork needed for their future victory, than it does to

1. abandon them because “waving signs and impotent chanting never made a difference,”
2. take long looks in your mirror to “ask yourself how far you’re willing to go” because “no one is going to save you,”
3. tell all the comrades currently fighting for your rights that they “should leave” if they’re not willing to be more “outwardly aggressive,” or
4. otherwise pose for all the other terrified edge lords on here who dismiss activists, predict defeat, lionize fascists, and imply that they’re prepping to do what’s actually necessary to “fix this.”
