Same tactics as with climate change.... "You can't do anything anyway!".

Stop. This is not true.

Timothy Snyder wrote a few things why defending institutions is important. And these are the same reasons why historic fascists went for them. The German Nazis even had an extra word for this, Gleichschaltung , which meant destroying the autonomy of institutions. And look what's happening.

... is not something I would or did say and hence not a "tactic".
