A good time to re-read climate scientist Kate Marvel's warnings on an over-dependence on hope.

"We need courage, not hope. Grief, after all, is the cost of being alive. We are all fated to live lives shot through with sadness, and are not worth less for it. Courage is the resolve to do well without the assurance of a happy ending."

While her text is indeed about climate, we can just as well apply her warning to fighting the rise of fascism.
