It turns out, /Pol/ wasn't just the random offshoot of 4chan, a board set up to kind of contain the right-wing chuds and keep them off the other boards...
... but was, instead, created THE DAY that 4chan's founder met with Epstein.

This video is 4 years old. These two lawyers have 50 years of experience. Listen to Bill Goodman and Denise Heberle, not advice from strangers online, even me.
In a similar vein, stop posting about protests you went to. Stop posting photos of said protests. Stop posting about crimes you may or may not have committed.

I am glad I wasn’t the only one getting baffled by the discourse though. This is something I know A LOT about. It was driving me off a cliff to see both sides of the argument go “X is always true” “No! X is never true!” when reality is sometimes X is true and sometimes it isn’t

People aren’t always simply paranoid. It’s case by case, situation by situation, group by group, and the more you have to lose or risk the more protective measures will be needed. Very simple. It’s adaptive and strategic. No set one size fits all rule

it is no big puzzle why the venn diagram between school shooters and fascist shooters is rapidly converging to full overlap. Columbinerism is, and always has been, neofascist, because it asserts the divine right of annihilation

suicidism and apocalypticism have always been fundamental to fascism, but the true innovation of postmodern fascism (ie neofascism) is reject earthly power in pursuit of obliteration. while there has traditionally been some sort of metaphysics to justify this, neofascism is built upon annihilaition

I just finished teaching a j-term course on neofascism at middlebury, and I framed the class around the idea that the main distinction between pre- and post-war fascism is the dominance of the cult of death. fascism pre-war seeks the state; post-war seeks immolation of self, state, volk, and nation.

Btw, I think people should understand having a platform makes you a bigger target of the state. It adds a whole nother level of threat assessment when you’re otg organizing
People can take individual risks but it’s very harmful to suggest that people shouldn’t take opsec seriously. Its a collective

When someone without opsec argues against opsec, they're not necessarily doing it in bad faith. Their lives and livelihoods are completely different than these nurses and teachers who don't do what's right for the attention but rather at great risk to their financial stability.

It’s not particularly sophisticated but I kind of think that the most straightforward way to understand trumpism is that we have a morally depraved group of fascists who have successfully persuaded a significant chunk of the public to accept their psychological projections as reality

The way this stuff works is usually, there are big unvetted chats and then there are a lot of smaller vetted chats that often do the more granular organizing or share more sensitive info.
So if anyone knows anything there (and they do) there are layers of chat security.

I don't think there's any way for the Minneapolis resistance to be secure; it's out and public, with huge numbers of people in the signal chats. There's also prejudice against journalists; David Neiwert, about as sympathetic a journalist as you could ask, had problems with it.

You have to be able to work with other people across difference and respect that group choices will not always align with your own personal preferences or even your own personal deeply held beliefs.
