Resources / flyers-and-stickers
This channel will be for posting of stickers and flyers. If you can give additional info on what their intended use is, that will be great. r/IronFrontUSA has a redbubble shop too: https://www.redbubble.com/people/IFUSA/shop?asc=u

Looking forward to this section I’m starting to print zines again. I think online will become less and less viable. I think flyers /stickers are important. And zines or booklets with resources and education are crucial for folks who won’t seek it out online independently

Definitely, I'm making lists of things we can prepare -- sort of like "If you're going to protest, here's a checklist for material, safety, and self defense"

Currently the goal of flyers-and-stickers will be collecting a group of images and a guide on how to print them easily, that or a link to a reputable shop. Personally I hate the idea of redbubble shops (sorry to those involved with it), it's profiting off of someone instead of being self-sufficient but I do appreciate it's convenience. So here's a sort of quest I have for people: What good sticker machines are there? I'm thinking of 3"x2" size stickers, full color.

Some stickers by @DiscleavingNoise over on the @deleted-role dedicated subreddit. I do think it's good because it appeals to California's queer culture. I sometimes hear people dismiss shitty views because "she/he/they pretty!~". No. No excuses. (edited)

@WojtektheBear Do you have an “official” logo. If not, do you want one made? I see several different designs above. @oldfuzybear Typically for logos you want either a vector graphic or several different sized/different color pixel images.

Since this has a more conceptual theme, we should move this particular point of discussion to the graphic designers channel. Since we talked about this yesterday, the mutual feeling was that the flyers and stickers channel is designated to share drafts and actual flyers. That said, this is a good way of getting the conversation going around what our messaging is and should be a point of discussion at the meeting tonight.

Id like to share some thoughts on Iron Front symbol and imagery. At first glance, it gives a connotation of fascism, not anti-facism. I was reading the discussion above about what the arrows mean. And I dont think each arrow symbolizing something to stand against is the best, to me anyway. I think there should be just 2 arrows. One going south-west like they do, and one going north-east. The downward arrow, symbolizing anti-fascism. The upward arrow, symbolizing pro-democracy. Thoughts?

The 3 arrows is from the OG Iron Front in Germany, which arose in response to the Nazis coming to power. In the #graphic-designers channel there has been really good discussion about how to keep the spirit of the GIF but make it more American-ized in order to reclaim the idea of "patriotism" from the far-right. There's also a GD strategy meeting on here at 8 EST this evening that's open to anyone who wants to attend. Contact @Marusya if you're interested in participating as they're the GD point person.

FYI. Some color printers have the ability to leave a dot matrix that can interpret the date, time, and SN of the printer on a print itself. It does this with yellow since it's very difficult to see unless you look under a magnifying glass.

The government has an agreement with multiple printer companies about tracking counterfeit.

Imagine that every time you print a document, it automatically includes a secret code that could be used to identify the printer -- and, potentially, the person who used it. Sounds like something from a spy movie, right?
9:54 PM
So if anyone comes across some fascist flyers, you could either take it and learn how to track it or give it to law enforcement such as the FBI so they can do their thing.

It's super uncommon for people to have color laser printers at home though. So is this method of tracking only effective for colored laser printers?

I don't want to discount campmods good point, but I also think the 'scope' should be clear because, as you said, most of us don't have color laser printers at home (I thought I was fancy AF years ago with a black-only laser printer in college. The toner cartridge lasted the whole degree, bless it.)

A Machine Identification Code (MIC), also known as printer steganography, yellow dots, tracking dots or secret dots, is a digital watermark which certain color laser printers and copiers leave on every printed page, allowing identification of the device which was used to print a document and giving clues to the originator. Developed by Xerox and...

mmmm steganography

"In 2018, scientists from TU Dresden developed and published a tool to extract and analyze the steganographic codes of a given color printer and subsequently to anonymize prints from that printer. The anonymization works by printing additional yellow dots on top of the Machine Identification Code.[1][2][3] The scientists made the software available to support whistleblowers in their efforts to publicize grievances.[20]"

If anyone wants vinyl decals like these, let me know! It can be any image/text, as long as it suits itself to being cut out by a vinyl cutter, and is one color. The maximum width the machine can handle is just under 24", and the length is basically unlimited (the length of the roll of vinyl). The machine is a Graphtec CE-5000 if you want to look it up to get an idea of what it can do. My makerspace has most of the basic colors available. They charge $1 per linear foot, I was able to fit three 5" and three 7" AIF logos in that space. So it's pretty cheap and I would only ask for the costs to be covered. I can donate my time for the cause. My next plans are to figure out how to make hard plastic stencils which could be used for spray painting.

What I'm doing is vinyl cutting, not printing. So it's a roll of the vinyl plastic with a paper backing. You use transfer paper and then peel the backing off and expose vinyl sticky side, then apply the decal. I've never made ink jet stickers, couldn't tell ya

The machine I'm using has a knife and it cuts the image lines

I did make t shirts with an ink jet and iron on transfer, it was a cool lo fi look but it did fade pretty quickly when washed. Stickers might be fine just depends on how cost effective it is. Printer ink is pretty expensive
6:43 PM
But that reminds me, when i did that we bought a brand new printer, used up all the ink and then returned it to the store for a refund. We complained that the quality of the printer was not up to our specifications 🤣

They still haven't unboxed theirs because it isn't open source and you have to use cricut brand materials.

It’s not worse, Russia is less bad cause it’s only able to act in its region. Look at Yemen or Palestine, to see the degradation that America/NATO pull on a global scale. The fight in Ukraine is a proxy war between nato/American imperialism. Biden is fighting putin to the last Ukrainian (edited)

"According to one of the founders of the American Iron Front "We're a more patriotic faction of the broader anti-fascist movement, also known as the Antifa Movement. I created the AIF so as to give more politically moderate people an outlet for anti-fascist activism who may otherwise be weary of it due to the various controversies and public image issues it has. We do not have a set ideology, and include a wide variety of people, including Libertarians, Liberals, social democrats, and democratic socialists. One ideology we are vehemently against (besides fascism, of course) is authoritarian communism, like Stalinism, Maoism, and Juche. (Non-authoritarian communists we generally are okay with.)" If you want to be a socialist, sure, so long as you're democratic socialist. Do not invert an arrow just to state that, you're completely undermining the symbolism. The arrows already have designated targets. Are you pro-racism, pro-fascist, or pro-"communist" dictatorship? None? Then don't invert any arrows.

Also your Soviet-style posters are really poor taste, especially after your anti-NATO (aka pro-Russia) comments with your last poster. We are not communists here. Some social policies, sure, but not communist. No need to corrupt our symbolism with Soviet overtones. (edited)

The Iron Front is a place for patriots who want to improve their country, who identify the problems with its systems and seek to improve them. The Iron Front is not a place to bash the US and its allies and claim it is a nefarious organization of terrorists.

Not only did you target NATO with an arrow, but then you've gone and inverted an arrow. Stop trying to twist the Iron Front to suit your needs- it doesn't. You need to find something else to attach to, not the AIF.

They have masking tape on them, the colors are vibrant

These take a lot of time to make, you have to peel out the negative space with an exacto knife, so I can ship these out as 10-packs for $4, plus $1 shipping
11:54 AM
They're pretty cool, I would admit though it would probably be better and cheaper if we could find a way to make them with a transparent background

I have two of these on my truck, put one on a guitar, a bunch on my laptop

They peel off pretty easily with little residue, seem to be weather resistant so far

I can also make them larger, up to 22" in diameter (not in blue cause the vinyl is different). And we could also add text or I can use other images if you all have other ideas

I’m trying to brainstorm some slogans on flyers for rural areas. I think focusing on the patriotic duty to oppose fascism might be a good angle, as well as making it clear racism is anti-American. I’d hope to tie nazi groups with the other fascists too, and paint them as basically the same (for those who might think otherwise). Thoughts on the following? “Rural America: the heart of the nation, not the dagger in its back! Hate has no home here!” “The greatest generation crushed the nazis; now it’s our turn!” “They don’t speak for us; conservatives against fascists! Reclaim our values!” I’d plan for primarily anti-KKK/nazi/fascist symbols; while I don’t like the confed flag, I don’t think “attacking” it would be good for building sympathy in rural areas

I think these mostly work, but I would avoid any negative connotations. E.g. in your first phrase, "not the dagger in the back" implies that the heartland might be viewed that way. I'd change that one to something along the lines of "Hate has no home in the heart of the nation" and include rural iconography.

I think economics is a big one where I would love to see the story change in the minds of rural Americans. It's as simple as looking at the poorest states - they are almost all strong Red states and have been for decades. A lot of rural folks work in factories that could be unionized - and yet we see them oppose unions. Large corporations have twisted this narrative for those voters to oppose everything that would actually make their lives better

@OkraMonk I think we need to make a definitive decision on which we want to go with. If we’re posting flyers with both names, it’ll look like we’re either 2 groups, or not organized/United enough for one name. If we want to market ourselves as an alternative to other antifa groups, a more moderate one, we need to decide on a “brand.” That make sense?

Yeah totally! Well it looks like generally speaking AIF is the more frequently used acronym so maybe we stick with that?

I’m okay with that; it’s an easier acronym than IFUSA. And all the stickers and stuff on red bubble use AIF. But that means we should have a United name across all platforms; Instagram, Twitter, the website and Reddit

i think it should explain who we are, what our goal is, and how to get connected. I ideally it would have minimal wording, we don't want people to throw it in the trash right after getting it handed to them.

@OPRacoon just the adhesive on the back of the sticker sheet. It’s basically a giant packing label. I’m nervous about wheatpasting personally, so want to have another option that’s hopefully as effective. But more inconspicuous than wheatpasting, and easier for an individual operative to place quickly in less than friendly areas

I have created a tutorial on how to create permanent stencils that can be used to quickly create protest signs. This requires that you have a projector screen, which I understand is not common at all. Mine luckily came with the house. A place you could possibly access a projector is at a college. When I was involved with student organizations we could book classrooms for our meetings which often had projector screens. For active chapters that could use these stencils but don't have access to a projector screen, DM me. The most time consuming part of this is cutting out the negative space. I could trace a few stencils and ship them to you, and you could do the hard work of cutting them out yourself. Wiki folks if you want to add this to the wiki let me know Check out the PDF and ODP if interested!

That one has been creased by my slapping and punching, and the third is at an angle from wind + kicking.

It’s coming from the far-Right, who are spreading propaganda made to make them appear as centrists or slightly right-wing to get the audience on their side against the far-Left, and then slowly adjust it to be against the entire Left.

Expose the reality then. Just took a peak at their reddit and that stuff was pretty unhinged. Jingoism is a tough one and an enemy they make out of someone very far is even harder to work against. If there are any cases in US history where the US deciding to not bomb the shit out of someone or otherwise be dicks actually made things better in the world then a reminder of that could work. They seem very focused on the idea of the US essentially being a brutal colonial power

The actions of the US as far as postwar Germany and Japan might have some inspiration

@bat'koMakhno I recently bought just under 200 of this as a sticker for $27, if you feel so inclined it would be awesome if you could get some of these or other flyers stuck up. (edited)

I remember when that design was made back in 2020! I thought up the idea, but another guy drew it. After he left AIF it went through a redesign, but it’s always been one of my favorites!
1:17 AM
There were a few other ideas for tying in our current fight with those of the past, but that design ended up being the easiest to make. The other ideas were too complex to make work on a slap.

The font I found that most closely resembles the one on the poster is “Rude Extra Wide Black,” although it appears to be for “ONLY YOU” and not the rest.

short for amunra

the reason christians say amen

ra is also the sun god of egypt
12:58 AM
although amun is technically god of air in kemetic mythology
12:58 AM
amun merged with ra god of sun to become amunra

It just isn’t tho
Common English translations of the word amen include "verily", "truly", "it is true", and "let it be so".
11:37 AM
There are a few passages in psalms that resemble prayers to amun but amen is Syriac in origin not high Egyptian or Demotic
