Fair point, but the rhetoric on the flyer was not geared towards flexing to me. It seemed purposefully tamed down and geared towards recruitment to me, I'm no expert at all though. The march in Boston was a flex. That was designed to show force.

The March was Patriot Front, but their 2020 demonstration of the state Capitol, banner drops and graffiti are better examples of this. Reading it now, this is more of a recruiting variation you’re correct. I can pass as white but if you can make contact we can help you.

“The presence of such organized hatred in Boston on Independence Day weekend was repugnant,” Hayden said. “[Investigators] are poring over surveillance video to help identify Patriot Front marchers and pursue possible criminal charges. If and when arrests are made we will prosecute to the fullest extent allowed by Massachusetts law.”
Avatar
WojtektheBear 7/10/2022 2:21 PM
I have mixed feelings about this because while I do think they should have known. I don’t want increased surveillance that could make our own activism harder. Also this was one of their flash marches like they did in Philly last year at the same time, it’s just hard to predict. Regardless I will be trying to attend these hearings and if y’all can as well we should make the effort to bring our voices in

The best part is that patriotism in and of itself is non-quadrant; you could apply it to any school of thought because it does not solely just have to do with nation or nationalism, but home and community. As crazy as it may sound, anarchists have actually tried this out before, and it has worked pretty well. The Catalonians and Basques in particular used/use it under the ideology and practice of Independence Anarchism. Patriotism truly has no bounds. (edited)

I co-founded the SF Bay chapter with Farren on July 4th when we met up at a pro choice rally in SF and distributed 100 flyers I created. I spent a lot of time thinking about how best to introduce ourselves, explain our history, our ideology, and the meaning of the Three Arrows. This is the flyer I came up with to do that in as few words as possible. Would you guys mind reading? We're eventually going to need a landing page somewhere which covers all of this information, and I think this is a damned good base to start building that from.

He was walking back to his car and stumbled upon the protest and was curious about what was going on. There weren’t any people holding up signs pointing out the fact that these guys were fascists so he didn’t know. Anyways, he asked them what the protest was about, and one cheeky Nazi said “free speech.” My brother was like “oh cool” so he gave him a high-five and went on his way.

Avatar
I have a lot to catch up on in this channel but just to chime in; Its important we stand for something, and yes @thechromatograph3r standing against Fascism is it, but that also implies being pro-democracy. I don't think we should let it be just implied though, I think its important for many reasons to explicitly state we're pro-democracy. I think there's actions to take make progress towards both of those ends.. Registering people to vote = Pro-Democracy Doxxing fascists = Anti-fascist Etc, etc. I think being for something is also vital to recruitment. If you only stand against something, the essence of your energy is negative, it's anger. And were going to only recruit angry people who want to fight fascism (which is great). But I also want to recruit folks who want to build something, who want to build a better country by starting with their own neighborhood, then their city, then their state, and so on. I think we're mostly going to be finding people who want to fight fascists anyway, but if we can transition that energy, or use it to also build a better Democracy and work towards something positive too, I think that is key to retention and achieving long term goals and ultimately making this an organization that can make a difference for good.

100%. The apathetic masses are realizing the cost of letting government and democracy be run by itself. "The only thing that evil needs to succeed is for good people to do nothing" (☝we should put that on a sticker) I was really scared for along time, and sat on my couch being scared. Then PF walked through Boston, essentially unscathed, and thats my fucking line. That crosses my fucking line and I'm not gonna sit on the sidelines and watch that happen ever again. Jan. 6, now this, no. I'm stepping up. Now or never. And seeing so many people in my city and in my state step up with me, is nothing less than inspiring. Makes me have hope again tbh. (edited)

This may be a weird though but why not call/nickname the Massachusetts chapter The Minutemen? Maybe it's because I'm stoned rn but it's a good thought to take away this patriotic iconography away from right wingers-unless that name is already appropriated/used by right wingers and their groups (edited)

Oof, yeah you're right. It'd be nice though, possibly use it as a name for a mutual aid group or an aif militia similar to the John Brown club or SRA (edited)

It’s also their greatest weapon; people from the alt-right and other prominent authoritarian movements (at least late Gen-Xers and millennials) are incredibly smart at sneaking in bias and extremist views in memes and pretend like it is all a joke. This tactic makes it especially hard for outsiders to tell because most of it blends in with today’s post-ironic, edgy, and nihilistic humor, so it can be pretty hard to tell if there is a genuine message or not.
☝️ 1
12:38 PM
People on 4chan boards like /pol/ and /b/, as well as supporters of figures like Nick Fuentes, Richard Spencer, and John Doyle do engage in this tactic a lot to the point where the lines between genuine and not genuine merge. Sometimes, people engage in this so much that they can’t even remember or tell whether their memes are based off of their views, or if they are just posting memes for jokes and nothing else (well, at least the followers and supporters who blindly follow the bandwagon and don’t really think much about what they are doing).

Ok firstly, "Cucked" is a ridiculous word to use... My point is, regardless of your intentions, its wise to not be outwardly and publicly aggressive. If a big brute storms across the street and b-lines it for a group of PB's, he's gonna swing a huge overhead hook and they'll all see it coming. If a normal guy walks along their side of the street, seemingly minding his own business, and throws a punch.. who gets the cleaner shot? If you don't expect it, than its surprising and more effective. I think the simple maxim to "appear weak where you are strong, and strong where you are weak." Is really effective and tactical in all sorts of conflict. I don't want to appear passive for the sake of being passive , I want to appear passive in order for my aggression to be more effective when I choose to use it. So that my enemy doesn't see it coming. This entire point is really operating under a few assumed premises about AIF that i don't know are true though.

For every person that doesn't want to actively fight against fascism by joining a group like AIF, there's 20 that will at least be willing to show up when they march again. And I want those 20 folks united under our cause, and I think the biggest thing turning them away from joining is their preconceived notion that there just angry violent rhetoric. "We're not the group of a bunch of angry kids who want to "beat up nazis", we're made up of all kinds of folks from all over the country who see a real threat of fascism emerging and want to do something about it. We organize, share information, register folks to vote, help them get to the poles. And yes, we go to protests, we got to counter protests and we get in the faces of fascists and call them what they are. And yes, we're not afraid to punch back.

"There is no time for purity tests and gatekeeping when discussing this. You must understand that not everyone is going to care or even want to have the dialogue about which theories support which practices in the world we are going to inherit. Gatekeeping is for the well-fed.   That doesn't mean that you don't have a responsibility to communicate basic ideas of community, but that you have to consider the real conditions people are in and understand the foundational knowledge that you need to share in some capacity.   Most people don't give a shit about the theory that provided the foundation for their community. Just that the community works and is equitable. Words like "socialism", "communism", "anarchism", "libertarianism" do not translate into good things for many people. You are not going to undo over a century of propaganda and counter-propaganda.   Developing local networks is the core foundation of all resilient communities. That does not mean you need to turn your neighbor into a communist or anything. People don’t need to think like you, or look like you. Everyone is going to be affected by the coming collapse. Someone marginalized and targeted last year, could be different this year, and next year it could be you. All of you are allies. If you can’t build resistance together, then you are lost. "

Ladies and gentlemen, I will be heading down to Cape Cod for the next five days; I will be heading to a few beaches in Sandwich. I doubt there will be any stickers, pamphlets, or signs of authoritarian activity, but in case such things arise, I will gladly report back here to post my findings.

Dude is American slang for an individual, typically male. From the 1870s to the 1960s, dude primarily meant a male person who dressed in an extremely fashionable manner (a dandy) or a conspicuous citified person who was visiting a rural location, a "city slicker". In the 1960s, dude evolved to mean any male person, a meaning that slipped into mainstream American slang in the 1970s. Current slang retains at least some use of all three of these common meanings.
I like the Yankee Doodle theory the most

The hospital became the target in recent weeks of activists who made a variety of false claims about medical treatment provided to young transgender people.

The Daily Wire's Matt Walsh falsely accused Boston Children's hospital of putting "every toddler who has ever been born...on a path to sterilization and butchery before they can even talk." Two days later, the hospital's staff was deluged by violent threats.

I remember having a really interesting conversation about individualism in Democracy in America by de Toqueville. A book we all should read really, and his points can be extrapolated to almost every aspect of American life.

No prob, I mean it's true that the woman in a traditional nuclear family is pretty much powerless so in that you're right

In a way it can be considered a form of slavery, since at its most extreme (for example if divorce is outlawed) she has no way out, no means of survival on her own, etc, and is working without pay. And we know that "individualistic" fascist societies really usually involve relying on some sort of slavery or exploitation

In some ways, the health insurance specifically, and other benefits like steady income, have killed the American dream of working for yourself. Kinda sucks because I would probably want to work for myself

Best case is to have a spouse or significant other who can hold down the corporate insurance for you both. But again, that requires fitting in a cookie cutter of being married/having a partner and we're back to the same issue lol

Hey everyone! A few of us met up for the Bernie Sanders rally in Cambridge today and had a great time passing out flyers. A few of my takeaways: -I printed 75 flyers and we easily handed out every single one. Print more flyers! -mobilizing parents and families to stand up for Boston Children's is likely a good tactic. We're going to try to find libraries, playgrounds, and other community center type areas to post the BCH support flyer. -getting together in person is fun!

I'm attaching the BCH support flyer here. If you're in the Eastern Mass area, it'd be great if you could get a copy up on any local bulletin boards where people post things like this: coffee shops, libraries, community centers, playgrounds, churches, etc.
5:58 PM
We're trying to let people know that BCH is being targeted and that our local hate groups/Nazis are the most likely to act on this kind of provocation. We want people to increase their awareness of local hate groups, keep an eye out for fascist propaganda, and report it to the Fashalert folks if they see it.

Well here's the stuff about shopify
8:13 AM
Everyone go here and report LoTT to Shopify's customer service. Select "does not comply with TOS" When you do, note that they use "Groomer" as a coupon, target LGBTQ+ people, and are currently leading a harassment campaign on Boston Children's Hospital, and mention the lockout.

They never specified why they wanted them; they just told me to hand them over

Well, given what happened today, now I’m considering preparing myself a bit more.
5:12 PM
Alright, so things to remember: 1. Question officers why they wish to take your stickers; bring up their cost and your knowledge of where you can plaster them. 2. Plaster stickers up at night when you can easily blend in with the dark, or in very crowded and busy areas, further preventing the chances of you being questioned by the cops. 3. Avoid NIMBY-ish neighborhoods or areas with lots of retirees. The elderly and upper middle class are very suspicious of any activism near them, and will resort to alerting the authorities, even if your actions are non-violent and legal. (edited)

I’ll have to keep it there for a while though so people don’t get suspicious of what’s underneath. If I drop my hand, they’ll see the sticker and notify somebody, but if I keep it there until the walking light turns on, I can walk across and they’ll keep their eyes on me and not the sticker

When I used to play music in bands I would put flyers up on wooden telephone poles using a staple hammer. One time I was doing this in front a long crowd waiting to get in to a popular venue downtown. Cops told me to stop, I tried to argue, since every pole in this town was constantly covered in posters. Got thrown in the back of the car, given a $100 ticket. The cop told me to go take down the ones I had put up, so I took down a bunch of other people's flyers but not mine. The point is, even if the pole is covered with stickers or flyers, it's still technically a crime to do that to public property and if a cop has nothing better to do or thinks you might be on "the wrong side", they'll stop you. Best to go at night or with a friend who is constantly on the look out for the fuzz. And don't be too hard on yourself for complying with them, cops will almost always elicit a flight or fight response and get your adrenaline pumping. You might have lost $40, but you didn't get tased, shot, thrown in jail, etc. And now that cop has had a positive experience with an anti-fascist activist, it's good for all of us that the situation didn't escalate into something terrible. Supplies are expensive, but ultimately expendable. If it happens again, you'll be a little more prepared with how to act and you might be able to better gauge how civil the officer is going to be with you and what set of actions are safe for you to take. Just my opinion not trying to speak for the whole group

@OkraMonk no, you’ve got a good point. Start small, and build up. I think it’s allow us to connect regionally; build up here. We can always export to other regions if we get big enough

Awesome. Yeah I think getting connected with our neighbors is the best way to build strength immediately. There are so many groups up here doing great work, I think one of our main goals should be making sure we stay on good terms with them and boost their signal while at the same time growing our own group.

10:31 AM
The other groups aren't really a threat to us in my opinion because they tend to target a slightly different audience. I think our message appeals more strongly to "classic liberals" who are starting to see that their position might not be quite extreme enough but aren't ready to join the big scary Antifa. We can help galvanize folks like that to actively fight fascism rather than just passively condemning it.
10:32 AM
"Big scary Antifa" in quotes, obvs Antifa groups are not actually scary but I think that the MSM has done an awful job reporting on them so a lot of people have the wrong impression.

Basically the way I've experienced it is that there's communist groups who will work with others in solidarity even if they aren't communists, and then there's communist groups who will not really cooperate with others or play nicely at all. They might even start fights with other anti-fascist groups. Groups of the first type exist in MA and they're great to work with. Groups of the second type are best to avoid as they mostly just cause drama and you can't depend on them to be on your side when shit goes down

Heads up: the counterprotest is starting at 2 on the 15th and they say Planned Parenthood is asking to not have counter demonstrators there so we'll meet the men's march en route to the common: https://twitter.com/FeministMass/status/1578066280451608577?t=6cTJ82IH1xtc_OWcl3l_Nw&s=19
Update: Because of the announcement of the reactionary 'Men's March,' we're moving things forward, and will be assembling at 2pm instead of 3pm. (thread)
1:12 PM
The Men's March is rallying outside of the Planned Parenthood in Allston - while we'd prefer to meet and counter them there, PP has (since the 80s) maintained a policy against clinic defense demonstrations of that type, and we want to respect their wishes.

Ok last call for the event in Boston today. Let me know if you're coming and I'll DM you our meeting point!
8:59 AM
Had a great time with other anti-fascist folks yesterday telling the "men's march" wimps where they could go (hell, where they can go is hell).
9:01 AM
On one side was the men's march with a crapton of rosaries, clergymen in their robes, and a bunch of lonely-looking middle-aged white men, and on the other side was a beautiful representation of the mixture that is Boston: people of all ages, races, and genders, telling Nazis to go fuck themselves
9:02 AM
After the men's march dudes finally broke up, we marched down to the crisis pregnancy center in Chinatown and stood outside until the cops showed up.

9:07 AM
All in all a great time, and a perfect example of how AIF folks can show up for events like this that are organized by other groups and lend a helping hand. We helped lead chants, talked with passers-by to educate them about what was happening, and kept an eye on the right wingers who decided to hang out on our side of the barricades. With everyone working together it was a very successful action!

Also a HUGE shout-out to the CT and Bay State JBGC who showed up to keep everyone safe. They were amazing and put themselves between a couple of the angrier dudes and us.

No doubt in my mind some of these guys have ancestral links to the Silver Legion; the guy who ran it came from Maine, and while it primarily operated in the Deep South and the Great Lakes, they had a few branches in New England before being shut down at the start of the Second World War.
6:25 PM
Clerical Fascism is not new to New England, and it certainly isn’t surprising some people want to combine their religious fundamentalism with the third position, especially in a place dominated by various demographics and ethnic groups.

Best you can do is not only call them out, but actively make it known to them that the population, including the religious population, wants nothing to do with them.

Yep defending these targeted events is more important than dealing with their flash mob style appearances. But we can do stuff about both. Flyering with anti-fascist literature after the fact is a decent second-best strategy for when fash show up unexpectedly.

Yes absolutely. The most efficient way would be to work with an existing mutual aid group or food bank. I've got some ideas on that but feel free to organize your own. The only thing is I wouldn't slap our logo on stuff we're handing out like PF does that's tacky and predatory

From what I understand about it, it was an appeasement measure done up by small liquor stores to try to stop a worse (for them) law from going on the books later

from what I understand, it was an attempt to protect small business from larger corporations, so I voted yes

Wanted to report back here: AIF folks supported a Trans Day of Remembrance event in Fall River, MA, by providing security along with several other orgs. No fascists showed and the event went off without a hitch. We heard beautiful speeches from local organizers about the importance of trans people being able to feel safe in their bodies and communities.

And for those of us who will be traveling or otherwise busy we'll try to host a watch party on here, since the event is livestreamed.
10:06 PM
Since a lot of folks will be with their families, we also thought about potentially doing a fundraiser for UAINE. Basically, everyone could ask their family members to chip in some amount and donate to the UAINE GoFundMe campaign. Then, you could report back on this discord how much you managed to raise (if you feel like sharing how much), or just that you raised and donated some money.

I have absolutely no idea where any PF posts are taken. When they posted where i live in DC, I went to the DC discord, and they helped me find where the picture was taken. I post the pictures in the state chats because hopefully someone could ID them and get on spraying or flyering over it, and to help people get a sense of the rate of PF activity in their locations

I had an idea on how to organize these. What if we created a whole separate channel that was just Patriot front propaganda logs. You could create a new thread in the channel for each state and then just post in the state channel when you add new pics for a state.
👍 2
9:13 AM
That way it's easy to go find the pictures if folks have time / bandwidth to be removing posters, but the photos aren't taking over the channels. It's especially tough on the channels that have less activity because long strings of photos will effectively push the few more local engagement posts way back in the chat history and make them hard to find
9:14 AM
Another option I thought of would be to put the pics in a collage and then just post the collage but that seemed like it would be a lot more work for you

I'm actually a bigger fan of drag story hours than regular NSFW drag. The kids love it and it makes a safe space for them to play with gender roles and stereotypes. Dress up + crowns + library story time is a big hit. And they read good books, like stuff about personal empowerment and accepting yourself. It's good shit. I wish it had been around when I was a kid.

Yeah, no one's going to insist that you like drag or whatever (it doesn't really move me as an art form) but it is not a "mixed bag". It's just entertainment.

Well it's a mixed bag in the same way that baseball is a mixed bag. Or country music 🤣

Heh, sure. But I mean from a moral perspective, there aren't drawbacks. It's fundamentally people just dressing up and and having fun with the audience's expectations.

Similar to anti-gay hate. How many politicians do you know who are super anti-gay and then get caught with a same sex escort? The Venn diagram of self-hating closeted gays and anti-gay bigots has some serious overlap
10:39 AM
And the same folks yelling about drag hurting kids are actually hurting their kids by beating them or emotionally abusing them. In the end a lot of it comes down to wanting power and control to compensate for feelings of insecurity
Avatar
not just that, but I think also they're trying to prove to themselves that they're different from those Filthy Perverts: "I'm not a homosexual, I just like screwing around with men sometimes, that's DIFFERENT" "I'm not a child molester, my love for my daughter is real and pure and that's DIFFERENT"

Yep. Fascism feeds off folks with self hate issues and inferiority complexes. Because hating the "out" group and being different from them is an easy way to feel superior.

It’s very interesting, though I am not surprised why they’d think so. A lot of Third Positionist groups in the world tend to be smaller compared to bigger fish in the pond of activism and street warfare, like anti-fascists and anti-authoritarian movements and individuals. They know that because there are more people who oppose them, they openly identify themselves as weak, but it is not to commit verbal self-immolation; it’s the opposite. It’s admittedly a very-well articulated strategy and (whether intentional or not) possible psychological tactic. By drawing people’s attention to the group’s words relating to their dwindled size and weakness in numbers while simultaneously talking about their goals and opposition, they are essentially virtue signaling to the easily-manipulated people of the world as a call for more members and support. I do not think many anti-authoritarians and anti-fascists understand the sheer success of this tactic, as it works very well; it's also happened plenty of times in the past before too in political circles that aren't just tied to the Third Position and Neo-Nazi and Neo-Fascist politics.
10:24 PM
After WWI and throughout most of the post-war years, emerging Far-Right parties and yet-to-be-defined Third Positionist groups and movements used a number of different tactics and fallacies to draw civilians towards their side of the political spectrum. Most of these forces used things like the fear of communist, anti-authoritarian, or pro-democratic uprisings, anti-Semitism, social Darwinism, eugenics, and other fears held by the more ideologically-inept, and civilians positioned closer to the goals of such forces, to lure them in as supporters. Factions of the Third Position at the time like the National Socialists, Strasserists, Fascists, National Syndicalists, Falangists, and Futurists (among others) displayed their small size when they began in politics, street warfare, and activism. They cited those fears as reasons for why they should have more prominence and strength, and why the broader population needed them to ensure the safety, protection, and preservation of society, nations, traditions, and races from those fears. More prominence and strength, more numbers, a bigger size…

Hi fellow Massholes - I just joined the AIF server, and it's really cool to scroll up and see committed folks nearby. Basically I want to see what's going on locally - how we want to build up the coalition, what to look out for/monitor from the other side, and countermeasures. There are a few people I want to nudge into more active anti-fascism. They mostly live along 128, North Shore, and a few in the Merrimack Valley. If I can give them some baby-step actions to start with, then maybe step two would be for them to join the discord. I haven't talked to them about it yet.

Welcome! If you want some baby steps actions for them, the first might be researching local fascist/hate groups. Awareness is an important first step. You could point them to fashalertma.info and NewEnglandwhitesupremacists.com to learn about the most prevalent groups

Really happy to have you here! We're working on a couple of initiatives right now and always happy to have new folks.

The people putting the stickers up are locals. They're likely to go past those same areas, and check their work. Cover up their stuff with explicitly anti fascist messaging, they'll see that there's an active presence.

Okay, thanks. I'll be a little vague about locations then. These are things I want to hold myself accountable for, and if anyone has suggestions it would help a lot.
11:28 AM
1. I want to watch for and document alt-right activities to the north and northwest of Boston, including their fliers/banners/etc.
11:28 AM
2. I want to cover, rip down, or counter their propaganda at every opportunity.
11:28 AM
3. I want to show up to public meetings (such as school committee) or public events (such as for libraries or Pride) where vulnerable members of our community might need support.
11:29 AM
4. I want to connect with community or progressive orgs in my network, not to recruit them, but to: (A) open a channel so that if they are ever threatened, I could communicate that back to AIF, and plan defense/support if needed. and (B) invite them to show up when others in the community need support.
11:29 AM
5. I want to connect with like-minded anti-fascists in the Merrimack Valley, or the towns north of the Pike between 95 and 495. My initial goal is at least three, between now and the Fourth of July. 6. I want to physically go out at least twice a month for the above activities, or to put up stickers.

Yeah it's definitely a challenge. And goes hand in hand with the harsh and violent opposition to progressive movements by fascist groups. For example the heavy targeting of Fall River Pride's drag story hour by neo Nazis and extremist Christian groups

Although we're not an explicitly political group in the sense that we're not really helping people start campaigns, I think making sure folks are safe from harassment while they run progressive movements and campaigns is an important part of what we'd like to do

Could be. I honestly bet a large portion of the PD is at least sympathetic to far right ideas though. Maybe they're just quieter about it

I admire your ideas. I do not believe such a thing is full my achievable in my lifetime or yours. And that’s not what AIF is necessarily about! We’re not revolutionaries in that sense. would be hard to ge normies to wake up to the fascists. I think if we manage to transition to social democracy, beat back the fascists and mitigate climate change it’s an absolute win. I do not see those things being more likely in a revolutionary environment

Because if people were going to rise up against the state in a viable, organized fashion, it would be far more likely to be another RW insurrection than a left wing revolution

It depends where you source goods and how much you want to provide. Amazon is the best option so far once you get to free shipping; Walmart has bandaids for 1.22 for a box of 60
9:46 PM
I think it runs about $100-150 a month/month and a half?
9:47 PM
That providing the full deal though; if you scale it down to more simple supplies or more basic kits, it gets cheaper

Wait this is for the Cuba thing or something else? Gonna be honest too, as a Cuban American while I do support removing Cuba from the state sponsor of terror list and lifting the embargo, the Cuban government is a dictatorship that oppresses its own people and so I find Americans who do a lot of activism that is effectively pro-regime to be pretty sus. Additionally, Chris Smalls seems like he’s more interested in building his own brand than creating a worker’s movement within Amazon given the internal conflicts the ALU has been going through. He’s centralized power within the union in such a way that he and his circle effectively control it without a way for the rank and file to remove them easily.

Like one of his leads stepped down because of domestic violence. It just seems like there are a lot better uses of Smalls’ time and it’s valid to question why he’s so inspired to lift the embargo.

for chris smalls, i’m not sure as Iihaven’t been following him specifically, just NNOC for a while and they appear to be legit. Chris Smalls isn’t on the leadership team, and I didn’t see him anywhere on the initial announcement so it seems to me he’s more of a “guest figure” to broaden the reach of the campaign than an actual organizer
