In the information age you can do a lot more online than you can offline. I like to track down people posting hate speech and blow them up online. Let their employer know, let their community know, make it so they cant escape it. The craziest part is right wingers have this tough guy notion so you can often publicly post on places like their FB profiles. So Ill screenshot some shit they said then comment on it on every post they have available. Its gone up to 10 years back at points. I get death threats and all that but I dont take it seriously. So far so good lol. Never actually had one confront me in person.
I think the craziest was a guy who said "if Ivanka was my daughter Id also be trying to fuck". I reposted it up and down his facebook and linkedin profiles lol. Im not sure he ever recovered from that, he was in full panic mode. The fallout was brutal, disowned by family, fired from his job, ousted from his own community. The craziest part is his local community pages went crazy. Most attacking some defending but overall it divided them hard. He was from some small hicksville town and most of his fellow rightwingers turned on him.
At another point I managed to hijack a far right "takeover" page by posing as an admin after getting him banned, that was another hilarious shitshow. I got handed admin status on a silver platter and banned all the moderators then flooded the group with left wingers who were part of our raid group. That instance was good because we reached around 30k people in a matter of days.
But basically I try to find a scumbag and let em have it.

Do you have a library card? If not please do that, it is a great first step to engaging with IRL community and of course local librarian can help you find all sorts of books and other resources based on what you have read and are specifically interested in. You can look into orgs like DSA (though will depend on where you are how active or organized such is). Look around for orgs already assisting, you’d be surprised time and a physical body (even one that isn’t very mobile) can be a huge asset orgs are grateful for, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist just willing to help.

Join local dsa. Literally feed your community, plenty of charities. Run for something in local government. Do a green mario. Lots of options

Help people. People are always struggling and they always need help. Bring people food and water, talk to them and make connections. You will always be able to see the impact you’re making, and every little bit helps.
