    Also, there are a lot of chuds replying that the police violence against USA protesters is ok because they're 'Antifa terrorists, not peaceful'.

    Maybe reply to them with stuff along the lines of:

    "See how the propaganda the US regime has brainwashed the people to submissively accept state violence? We need to free these people! #SOSUSA"

    Shine a light on the hypocrisy. These people would totally defend the Hong Kong protesters and they were violent. Call out the corporate brainwashing these idiots eat up.

    I just wish Twitter didn't make you use your phone number or I'd join in.

      I got a libertarian to agree with me making that exact point lol. I think this is breaking ppl's brains a little which is a great outcome imo.

        Nice! I honestly think this is a great idea, Americans should be seriously asking for international help using social media. It gave the Hong Kong protesters more visibility so why not? Plus the USA is in legitimate need.

          Yes. This is about the double standards as far as I am concerned. So it's cool to apply the same standards for a change.

        You got a libertarian to follow a logical argument and come to a sensible conclusion? How?! Did you have sex with a wizard and gain magic powers or something?

          A surprising number of American communists started their political journey as civil libertarians.

          Worst case is that right-wing media gets a hold of it and does some "digging" to find out that the person holding the sign retweeted Chen Weihua or studied abroad in Beijing and it becomes A Story.

            Yep and by digging you of course mean fabricate and get a bunch of right-wing diaspora to shed some crocodile tears and USians will believe anything. At this point, I doubt even the latter is needed tbh.

          I'm really just saying that it's easy for the right wing to be like "Holy shit, we knew it all along, BLM is a Chinese Communist Plot to Sap and Impurify our Precious Bodily Fluids."

    1. Don't doxx yourselves.
    2. Don't doxx yourselves.
    3. Spectacle goes brrrrr.
    4. lmao
    5. I kinda feel like using the same rhetoric as ghouls is self-defeating, it sounds like we're not taking it seriously. Maybe humor is necessary?

    This is a great bit. Use a fresh account for this or one that’s strictly separated from your actual identity. Do not follow any local politicians, news, businesses, etc. If you’re also followed by anyone you know IRL, the account is useless.

        It’s apparently trending now, so there’s enough posts to give cover. Original advice was when it was this site and a handful of others as the only accounts involved.

      If you create a new account using a burner phone and email will it still ID you and link your friends? People should be careful if does.

    This is unironically a fantastic idea. Get the truth out and show US propaganda for what it is. We can do this. This could break the spell for a lot of people.

    How long after being banned from Twitter will they forget my computer/IP address and let me make a new account that isn't also banned?
