Basically, they hire a bunch of people to pretend to be us and then they make disruptions in public so that people start to hate us. I'll go into more detail in this thread. First, they identify a homeless person and eliminate them. Then, they put someone who looks pretty similar in the same spot and they start making noise, tearing up flowers, being really pushy about asking for money and shit, yell at passerby, that kind of thing. They do this for homeless people, trans people, black people, anarchists, punks, leftists, basically everyone they don't want. They do this to defame our champions. Our most vulnerable. Our strongest of heart and their greatest threats. They do this to turn the liberal majority against us. the conservative minority fell for it quite easily. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┘ --- #6 fediverse/2563 --- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── ┌───────────────────────────┐ │ CW: unreasonable-violence │ └───────────────────────────┘ if I was a far right militia, a pride parade would be a tempting target. hence why they must be defended with riflemen placed just out of sight, clustered away, ready to spring into the fight. spread out, hit from the flanks, keep them pinned down, and occupy space. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┘ --- #7 fediverse/4502 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────── ┌────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: radical-politics-mentioned │ └────────────────────────────────┘ If you're radical enough to consider yourself "antifa" then you are probably working as hard as you can.

Like, bricks at cop cars is one way to go, but you're probably gonna get arrested. And then you're useless when we need you.
