Why can't you protest anonymously? Is there something wrong with protesting?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Nothing wrong with protesting anonymously, just so long as you do it with a badge and a gun, and you're "protesting" by snatching people off the street and throwing them into unmarked vans for deportation.

Hey, a new strain of covid is causing concern, let's attack masks. /s

Adams is trash.

I hope zohran wins the election.

So masks are fine for fascists commiting mass arrests, but not for citizens protesting those same fascists.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 34 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Motherfucker, did you SEE how many people were in your streets? You really think you're gonna arrest them all?

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 17 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

They should raid City Hall, drag him from his office to the roof, and toss him off.

Shortly thereafter, the two regents and their secretary were defenestrated, but they survived the 70-foot (21-metre) fall from the third floor. Catholics maintained the men were saved by angels or by the intercession of the Virgin Mary, who caught them; later Protestant pamphleteers asserted that they survived due to falling onto a dung heap, a story unknown to contemporaries and probably coined in response to divine intervention claims. Philip Fabricius was later ennobled by the Emperor and granted the title Baron von Hohenfall (literally 'Baron of Highfall')

Just make sure you do it right this time. Last thing we need is Eric Adams getting knighted.

We should all be doing this in all our cities to all the fascists or fascist enablers.

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 hours ago

They will try...

Corrupt mayor supports administration that dropped case against him in return for support on immigration policies.

Oh no, bad behaviour! Anything but that!

Remember, any resistance to fascist takeovers must be well-behaved

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Well behaved as in a wild west high noon standoff. The first to flinch, and resort to serious violence will lose a LOT of public support.

Violence now doesn't gain much. It needs the over and support of a larger movement. It also needs to be focused, to not simply dissipate the anger.

Right now, America is getting back into the habit/flow of protesting. That alone should make an intelligent government nervous. Don't dip the stew over their heads, until it's good and boiling.

(And to clarify. I'm not saying to follow all rules, like good little drones. Bad behaviour just needs to be conscious and controlled)

The first to flinch, and resort to serious violence will lose a LOT of public support.

You mean like the magat nazi terrorist who MURDERED two elected Democrats on Saturday? Or the other terrorist who tried to run over peaceful protestors? Or the one in Utah who tried to commit a mass shooting, causing an innocent bystander to get killed?

Yea it's a good thing serious violence hasn't happened yet.

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Unfortunately, that's not the type that counts. It's the government backed/condoned that matters. The sort that even fox news would struggle to spin. The sort that should cause heads to roll within government organisations.

A few " " "lone wolves" " " can be disavowed, no matter how heinous the act they do. Unless you can tie it unambiguously to the powers that rule.

It's a fucking shitty situation, but that's the rules we are stuck working within. To change them, we have to win. To win, we need to play (mostly) within the rules.

Fyi, the same could also apply to left wing "lone wolves". Without the media, it's harder to spin, but doable. If they happen to meet up and organise at a march, that's nothing to do with the march. 😇

Yeah hun like that'll work once the citizens realize that organization and civil disobedience get you shaking in your boots
