"Americans usually consume stories such as these through TV shows and action movies, and this has warped our sense of what 'resistance' really looks like.

Dame Magazine - · Mar 6Anti-Fascist Movements Have Succeeded in the Past. Can They Work in the U.S.? - Dame MagazineFor many of us, the idea of life under dictatorship tends to conjure images from George Orwell’s 1984, where we imagine the government is all-powerful, and resistance is futile.

"On March 7-9 of this year, the neo-fascist American Freedom Party (AFP) held what it billed as its “National Convention” at a location that organizers kept secret from the public. Participants later said that it was in West Virginia without specifying where, however they did post photos from the conference online. A close examination of these images reveals that the conference took place at the Berkeley Springs Castle, which is owned by the people who ran the now-defunct white nationalist website VDARE."

Something I've come to really enjoy: designing, printing & pasting stickers promoting the fediverse (since I see it as a force for radicalization in itself). Just get one of these mini-printers. Attached is a design I've never used but that should work.

They're not large, but eye-catching enough on a bathroom stall or gas pump. The glue is much stronger than you'd expect. My stickers have survived hurricanes.

good morning, enjoy a crime cat.

#TheCrimeCats say the state calls its own violence law. and no one ever changed a law by obeying it.

a black and white cat smiles wielding a switchblade and thinks "violence against fascists is community self-defense."

"All of which holds for non-state actions– there’s no point in a narrative that yields nothing concrete, no point in a protest that doesn’t disrupt, no point in disruption without a plan. More than pointless, it actually undermines the cause, whatever it might be."

If you're going to kill fascists, then you're going to have to kill liberals as well because they'll be the one's defending them.

What the Red Army and its partisans achieved is what true #antifascism is all about. They left musselini upside down and caused Hitler to shoot himself. #liberals can't be #antifa because the #democraticparty support #israel who are Committing #genocide and fighting proxy wars to help the #imperialism #violentopression all around the work. America is a capalist settler colonial empire. It's never been a democracy.
