if the libs make pancake memes again, my head is going to pop.

edit: if you think you can be in DC this weekend and want a run-down of the info that's available for public dissemination, DM and I'll share. please turn out! we need as many people as possible!

main rally: BLM plaza at noon on Saturday. evening shift begins at 5p.

people will be out at BLM, holding the space, this evening, all day tomorrow, and possibly into Sunday.

sanctuary: DM me. I can share but I can't post publicly.

    I should also say, as a lesson from last month - every single one of us is worth several PBs. they're a mob - we work together. they're drunk - we're sober. they're seeking a brawl - we bring tactics, roles, and organization. I honestly think that if the confrontations between the bloc and the PBs had had just 100 more people on our side - mainly to bolster our own confidence - we had the tactics and numbers to route them over the course of the night. our shield tactics make it impossible for them to brawl with us and their frustration with that drives them to overextension, division, and ultimately defeat.

    bloc tactics have really grown up this year and it's super heartening.

    talk more to little birdies :) you learn useful things.

      they flooded #DCProtests with memes about pancakes saying stay home and enjoy pancakes instead of confronting the fash. made the tag unusable as an info channel.

          yea, it was literally we won, stay home, and let the "tantrum" play out. meanwhile, 6 people got stabbed, and many more would have been hurt if the bloc hadn't been out. I have a burning hatred of liberals at this point.

          edit: it's one thing to know they'll stab us in the back as, like, an intellectual fact. it's another thing to watch it play out in real time. losing an info source like that was brutal and it probably got people hurt. the comms infrastructure is more robust this time as a consequence but that only helps people who know who to talk to or which groups to trust. random libs who make the right call and turn out anyway are decidedly less safe.

            They don't give a fuck about the fash. They are nice and comfy sitting atop the ever-growing pile of working class corpses.

            Liberals think that fighting in the streets for something you believe in is one of the most evil things that you can do, and winning the fight means you're double evil. It's not even just "stabbing us in the back". They are worried about somebody making them look yucky.

              it's one thing to just not show up and talk about that on twitter. it's another thing to intentionally overwhelm an information channel.

                Yeah, that's the point. You might "make them look bad", so they want to make sure you don't get that opportunity!

                In Democrat mindset, taking to the streets is a Bad Thing (unless it's in the past when the results were Good like MLK). The Proud Boys are "embarassing themeslves" by doing a march and acting tough. You're supposed to let them act "like fools" because surely the rational truth seeking public will just laugh them off!

      Knowing the libs it's probably something stupid like "dress up as a pancake and dance to Rhodesian South African music in front of the chuds to own them by demonstrating how dumb they look with our epic Democratic Resistance Ownage"
