If Dr Jones punched nazis, I shall too
“All you do is call people you disagree with Nazis!” *proceeds to cheer as conservatives continue to Sieg Heil in public*
Only way this is going to happen is through methods that if listed will get me banned.
We’ve been peaceful. We’ve had the conversations. We’ve done what we were supposed to do to keep it from escalating and it didn’t work. Now we know what we need to do.
I grew up in a Post war Germany and I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THOSE UNTERMENSCH BACK!!!!
Love this message
I’d be happy if we could just make them powerless.
MNAA MNAA, doo doooo doo doo doo, MNAA MNAA, doo doo doooo doo…
MNAA MNAA (doo doo do-doodoo)
Yes!
We need to unify on all fronts, quickly, preferably by March 4th as I believe we need an urgent deadline. We will need about 11 million people to protest using as many of the following options as they are comfortable (or even slightly uncomfortable) with.
Here is my suggestion on how to do that in the simplest ways/terms:
1. Personally
As individuals everyone can do the following:
On the Social Front
A. Cease contact with belligerent Trumpers.
B. Ask questions, provide facts & use cult deprogramming methods such as those found in “A Concise Introduction to Ethics” of Trumpers who find themselves questioning. https://global.oup.com/academic/product/a-concise-introduction-to-ethics-9780190058173
C. Confront & bully NAZIS & sympathizers. Literally call them cowards, Nazis, racists, etc when calling out their behavior online & in person.
D. Scrub or distort any personal information from accounts, internet presence, etc.
E. Avoid legacy media, unplug from the TV. Read your news from various international sources such as BBC, Guardian, Al Jazeera, etc. You’ll literally need to read a few versions of the same story from different sources for the truth.
F. For women & femmes specifically, get on long term birth control, take a few jiu jitsu/self defense classes/arm yourself if you can, stop having casual sex or sex at all with people who do not support your rights & the resistance to this administration, file to divorce your Republican husbands before they destroy no fault divorce.
On the Financial Front
A. Cancel subscriptions for Meta, Amazon, etc.
B. Freeze your credit at the credit bureaus – [How to Freeze Your Credit – NerdWallet] https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/finance/how-to-freeze-credit
C. Stop buying ANYTHING unless you will die without it & then only buy from small, local businesses or some place like Costco that allows unions/didn’t donate to this admin/is keeping DEI
D. Sell your stocks, especially those in businesses that have contributed to this mess. *
E. Start pulling money from banks. Options include home safe storage, investing in gold, overseas banks, credit unions. *
* For these items, you can defer your income tax completion for 6 months on a wait-n-see to try & avoid fees. It appears as though they will tank the economy on purpose or through recklessness so at least these options allow us to be more in control of our own financial futures while making a statement since they only really understand money anyway.
On the Political Front
A. Flood representatives with communications that they can relate to. Talk money, talk about effects on their voter base, talk about them losing their jobs because the admin is making their jobs useless. Attend local, regional political meetings & express outrage over policies directly affecting your community & find like minded individuals to rally with & develop support networks. Support campaigns for Democrats coming up in elections next month to flip their seats, such as 2 seats in Florida.
B. Attend local, regional, national protests. Ensure to prepare using the Hong Kong protestor method, body cams & go pros for filming as able, faraday bags to protect phones disabled of facial/biometric locks.
C. Unify our message to PROTECT DEMOCRACY, PRESERVE THE CONSTITUTION, or Protect & Preserve for short. Your sign can have any decoration that displays your individual concerns, but the written message should be the same across the board. Are you concerned about your right to have a same sex marriage? Write your message on a rainbow sign. Are you concerned about your right to stand up against fascists? Write your message on a poster that includes antifascist symbols such as the 3 arrows. Concerned about living under an orange king? Mark your sign with Trump’s recent crowned image, deface it.
2. Politically, in a group effort, we must:
Support the Democrats who are speaking out such as AOC, Bernie, Jasmine Crocket, James Talarico, JB Pritzker, etc. We need to organize to help them do daily press conferences & weekly debriefings where disinformation is combatted with FACTS, where experts talk in understandable terms about impacts of policies, specifically on MAGA voters, where the people listening are given a small task/call to action which they can do to resist themselves.
THE MESSAGING NEEDS TO ALWAYS INCLUDE INCENTIVES SUCH AS “FOR THOSE PERSECUTED FOR RESISTING THROUGH CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE, WHEN WE REGAIN POWER YOUR SENTENCES WILL BE REPEALED, YOUR RECORDS EXPUNGED, YOUR LEGAL FEES COVERED, ETC” just like Trump signalled to his insurrectionists. We remain peaceful, of course, always encouraging & displaying peace, but we should always be prepared, aware, protected.
It’s time, citizens.
They’re not afraid… They’re running the United States.
Crazy how this might generate as a “hot take”.
Didn’t know til recently the band Chumbawamba has a song called “Nazi.”
Who the Zionists?
I am afraid. 😟
I’ve been trying to find a red hat with this slogan
That acronym. When people start spreading their Nazi horseshit: MNAH! Not having it!
Signs don’t scare anyone.
AIPAC will never be afraid because they know the masses cannot be affect by information as meaningfully as they can be affected by propaganda.
Print it on a million caps and instruct your followers to wear them proudly I guess?
The right side of the political compass is literally tunnelling under the low road these days. It’s all good for the left to have lofty ideals about stooping to their level, but if they are below ground and pulling the rest of society down underneath, you’ll crash in to the Earth before you can reach them.
I work in an office where the leaders are conservative. A lot of their clientele are also conservative. Today a farmer and his son came in and the son was wearing a read hat. I looked at it again and it read Make Fascists Afraid Again. I grinned large and told him I liked his hat and by golly these two rural Michigan farmers both cheered and said “you’re one of us!”. Warmed my heart, and reminded me that looks can be decieving.
Held by a person? In “middle” America? What is the definition of middle in this context?
Hell yeah, fuck yeah.
You’re all insane fyi
