You're afraid. I get that. What is it gonna take before necessity overrides fear though?
Because thats the mindset you, and everyone else, need to be in right now.
You can organize online or offline. I'm not suggesting the best way. However I am suggesting figure out exactly, in easy to digest statements, what you are about, reach out, organize, and reject moderate 'conservatives'.
If they want to join, or if they seem interested, push them. Be pushy. Thats what our fucking opposition does. You don't have to tell them what to do, but you should demand they be willing to do something, could be anything ranging from marches to fucking flyers. Doesn't matter. As long as you all are on the same page.
Lay the ground work.
It's not about fear, it's about trust. it's operational security.
Even in person, you can never be sure where someone's loyalties lie, you never know who might be turned, so a certain degree of risk is inevitable, you've got to take some chances.
But you're not hearing me, if you think it's just a matter of fear. There's no prudent way to organize online. You may as well plan it by email, and CC the FBI and the ATF on your group mails.
So, if someone's doing it right, it won't be very visible.
I don't know why you're stuck on this "don't organize online" bit.
Organize however you like if you're gonna do a protest.
And yes, if someone's doing it right, it won't be very visible, is correct.
Because if you're not doing it online, like you shouldn't be, it's going to look like nothing's happening. atleast until you're brought into it.
