We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."
The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.
The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.
It's time.
Put a piece of cloth in your shoe, like a small folded dish towel. People can recognize your walk and identify you just as easy as seeing your face.
Arrive and leave from a large crowd if you can, assume you are being followed there and back and change into your "hero" costume in a restroom or other area off camera.
So 30 people went into this toilet, 30 came out but only one of them changed. We got em.
Think carefully about where you change.
Not 'people' but AI-assisted gait analysis. Scan of video footage identifies points on body, tracks movement of those points through space, represents this as output of an algorithm, which generates a result (e.g. a long sequence of numbers like a barcode) which is unique to you. They cannot i.d. you by name and address unless they have your biometrics on record but it is a potential way to identify you just like fingerprints or dna and will stay on record and might hurt you in future.
Shoes also leave very identifiable prints, so buy secondhand burners with cash.
Step 1 is already illegal in my country on a protest.
God forbid we break the law
Yep, we are just about past the point of caring about laws. I know I was done after J6 pardons. That told me laws are out the window now.
I get the sentiment, but depending on the particular activity, not breaking the law is an advantage. A peaceful protest in front of a government building following all laws makes it harder to justify breaking up, especially breaking up violently. It's a PR game just as much as it's a social action game. To be clear, though, this doesn't cover every instance, but there are times where following the rules to the letter is beneficial...just not always.
That's an easy pretense for our overly violent riot cops (who are deployed to literally any protest but somehow can't be arsed to disperse illegal overtly racist protests nowadays) to arrest you though. And keep you detained for up to 3 days iirc.
Motorcycle helmet or full-face bike helmet. Problem solved.
What, folks are on me all the fucking time to wear one. If they want to complain that I'm complying, that sounds like a them problem.
Not in Germany. The law is very abstract. Technically, it does not even allow you to take stuff with you that is supposed to hide your face. On the other hand... Even a T Shirt can be used to hide the face...
Hey we have the same dumb law in France. I remember getting a ski patrol guy getting very confused when I snarkily asked him if I was gonna get in trouble for wearing my balaclava to the slopes, which was technically illegal according to this law.
Huh, interesting! In the USA, we just got these laws recently, but for protests only, and from the sound of the law, it will only be enforced for people the president does not like
After sonic/microwave attack in Serbia, you need to take headphones and a physical barrier to shelter behind, I dunno, an umbrella backed with tinfoil? One of those foil emergency blankets?
Tattoos are barcodes.
Is that just days n daze on mom or is that symbol used for something in the wider anarchy community?
