Those of us who oppose the regime outnumber those who support it, We are also tougher than them on an individual level, one of us can take on one of them, and they need to form groups in order to stand a chance against one of us, we can take them on, and scare away the ones who try to stand in our way, what we must do is gather them all together, all the malcontents, they must get together, and form groups and develop contact networks with each other. I know there are obstacles, now more than ever, but we can work around them, I know that there are past events that discourage us, and shills who do all they can to prevent it from occurring, we can learn from past mistakes and we can help other anons to ignore the shills who sow fear among us. Things have also changed, there's a lot more trust in us and sympathy for us now, and a lot less trust in them and sympathy for their causes now, we can get away with things we couldn't before, what's more, there's now a lot of ACAB on the right, which means that the worst vulnerability of events like Charlottesville, trusting the police and complying with them, are no longer present, we know they are the enemy, and we can now resist them like antifa does, with actual resistance. We shouldn't hold any rallies in the city, but rather meetup events at the national park on the outskirts of the city limits, as for infiltrators, we can ignore them, do you not think that every great dissident leader in the past had infiltrators showing up to their groups? did that prevent the NSDAP from doing what they did? If the cops show up, it's not a big deal, we aren't showing up in uniform, it's going to be hard for them to tell us from normal folks who just happen to show up to the area, we aren't doing anything illegal. Even if we were (in some places simply gathering together is arrestable), it's going to be difficult for the cops to stop us when we have a crowd, and it's going to get even worse when there are events like this happening all over the place, and it's showing up on the media, which is going to cause a lot of people to step into action through inspiration and a "this is our chance" moment. Location, location, location: Wide open spaces benefit us over them, who are trained to deal with urban chaos rather than rural rebellion, and woods are good for breaking up the formations they have become dependent upon. It's not some university campus in the middle of a city, and we can even dent their numbers by making multiple calls for them to mange at one time, for example, we could set up a protest in the city, and a meeting at the park outside the city limits, we could do that, so the cops have to respond to two dissident gatherings at once, far apart from one anther, needing a wholly different approach to contain them. Once we make contact with one another, communication follows, organization follows from that, and we have a support network, so that if we get fired or harassed, we have understanding friends to fall back on, what's more, we can finally start doing activism projects. A lot of the problems with online communities is that things don't get done, because one person can't do much, humans as a species are made to be able to work in groups, and intelligence is only good when you have other intelligent people to work beside, right now we are atomized, with no one to trust to even pretend to want to help us with anything, IRL meetups change all that, we can finally get to work on that project you've been thinking of. A project which feels so massive that you can't possibly do it all on your own, it overwhelms you to even try to finish it, and in the off chance you do succeed in seeing it through, the quality of it is usually terrible, because one person means a lack of oversight and quality control. As a result, you post on here to ask for help with it, only to get the response of "we aren't doing all your work for you, do it all yourself". Even when you've already done it yourself, and are showing people what you had done, the response is still not helpful, they instead just criticize what's wrong with it, much of which you are already aware of, but can't think of a way to correct the flaws in what you have with something better, what's there is literally the best thing you could come up with, you know it needs to change, but have no clue what to change it to, and no one is offering alternatives to you, and your at your imagination's limit, so you finally give up on it, having wasted a lot of your time doing alone, what should have been done with a team. Surely this isn't just me, surely others here have had similar experiences, right? IOTBW cannot be the apex of what we could achieve, it feels so passive and cowardly to just anonymously hang up a poster somewhere, we should be being bold and aggressive, we have the numbers and better quality people, we need to form teams and work together. The advantage of things like Donald Trump and Brexit was that we had a headcount, we could see how many others there were who agreed with us at least enough to put themselves up against the establishment, it also created places where we could see one another, and group together, it gave us a way to identify one another as fellow minded people at least to some degree, we need that again. Yeah, feds will likely show up, so the fuck what? you don't think Hitler's events didn't have government agents among them trying to find ways of keeping the NSDAP from becoming the new government? You don't think the guy knew all about that as more than a likelihood, but an inevitability? he held the damn events anyway, he didn't just cancel them, and thus guarantee that he would never be able to take any position above his fleeting term as chancellor. Be bold, not cowardly little shits, hiding in the shadows, posting on sites like these, and not doing much of a difference for what you believe in, we already have everything we need to win, except the spine to do what needs to be done, and I'm not talking about terrorism or anything like that here, shills will try to make you think that's what I'm advocating for, but I'm not. Also, a lot of you have family and friends and a job, all of which you think would be placed in danger by doing something like this, but in taking the risks associated with action like this, simply showing up and greeting fellow travelers, you are holding back a danger that is approaching. Right now a vice is tightening around you, and if you do not struggle, it will crush you, there are risks associated with struggling, but taking the risks that exist now in order to have a chance to avoid a guaranteed misfortune down the line is the intelligent move to make, think about the long term, and the short term seems silly to fret too much over, every second you refuse to act and take a chance, is a second where your opportunities to do so get less and less. We could have had meetings much more easily before, but now we have this fucking lockdown imposed on us, and then came the vaccine issues, with merely being around those who have taken it, they are now passing policies that give people more power to police gatherings like these ones, and to more closely monitor the activity on the internet that sets these up, soon they will be taking away your ability to move freely even more. The longer we wait, the worse it gets. The "do nothing" shills know this, and they are doing what they can to wait out the clock on our ability to do anything like meet with one another. Tell me, what have you done, and why is it more productive than showing up to a meeting? even if you got jailed for attending a gathering, you can do a lot of activism from a jail cell, especially on a bullshit charge like this one, we got ourselves together, even in incarceration, and we can carry that shit out of the prisons, possibly scoring some resources in the process. If you care for your loved ones, you'd do this for them, and your job, which supports the system that oppresses you, can go eat a dick, you'd have your fellows to care for you, so you won't have to worry too much about becoming a homeless bum. Is there anything else for e to pre-emptively address here? Oh, the idea that doing something lime meeting up is going to somehow benefit the ones who already control fucking everything, I don't get it, there's no excuse that they need, they own the media and the courts, they can just arrest us and say some bullshit propaganda and everyone is going to buy it more or less as much as they buy the shit going on now. If they can justify the election of the most unpopular candidate in us history with the most blatant electoral fraud in us history, they can easily justify the arrests of some nobodies who they arrest in their homes and claim are terrorists without evidence. The "meeting up" events can only hurt them now, they've already got what they need, and all they have to do is maintain the status quo, because as things are going right now, they are already on the path to meeting their self-assigned victory conditions, they want to run out the clock, maintain the smooth course, and that is all they need to do. Provocateurs and instigators are no longer needed, they were needed back when the prospect of just arresting dissidents was difficult for them, now it's easy, the level of control they have now, means that what they need right now are de-radicalization, and anti-action shills, as well as undercover informants, none f which are reasons to avoid attending a meeting event. Simple analysis of the situation is enough to discredit shills who try to pretend that we are playing into the interests of the enemy, when in fact we are doing something that only goes out way 100%. Again, this is just socialization, it's not some "hurr durr lets bomb a government building goyim" retardation, it's meeting up, socializing, and leisure activities that takes those of us who are isolated and alone, and makes us strong by giving us a group to be a member of. It's the essence of fascism, one stick is weak, but a bundle of sticks are strong, a gathering is what we need more than ever in a world trying to break us.
