Clown bloc is a really great tactic to get distance between marchers and fash of any kind, but especially cops. there are lots of ways this presence can be mitigated and isolated, but the peace policing instinct is way too strong under the code of conduct your banner gives you. that’s all.

and also its good to note that the goal of every infiltration is not actually always about information acquisition. usually… it’s about sowing distrust. 🤷

you are the one saying i am suggesting violence here. you know there is a huge gap between ‘the cops feel comfortable acting like they belong here’ and ‘trashfires in the streets’, right? your lack of imagination is not my problem.

i read that he has been open carrying at marches for like years now. it’s not the same there as it is even over here.

i’m sorry the organizing and infiltration if that event brought harm to you. my only goal is to keep everyone safer, including you.
comment in response to post
it seems like your 50501 code of conduct is making you vulnerable to open and blatant police infiltration, to me. no lecture here, this place doesn’t have the word count for that. just pointing at the obvious, for public viewing.

….i stopped listening after ‘the most cancelled person in the history of the country’ because my head will be spinning for days over that

we all need to be angry enough to do something and tell ice to get the fuck out and we need to cut the portland police budget because they should not be getting paid to traumatize young kids and cause ecological harm to both people and our environment.

What we need to do is get very good at spotting this & rejecting the premise from the outset, and then choosing a better frame. *What is a woman?* False premise. A woman is not a what. A woman is a who. Fascists do not want to see people as "whos." That isn't their venue.
comment in response to post
Fascists like Mace know we are wired to accept premises, and so they construct questions in such a way as to win the venue. This is true *even if we disagree* with the person who is offering the proposition. We accept the frame, then we argue the contrary position. But first we accept the frame.

yeah there was always gonna be some % of those pencil pushers that just like being number cops

and this is precisely why i am hoping against, apparently, the popular tide, on ‘uprising’ rather than ‘civil war’, because one of those things has clear lines of combat, usually along border walls.
comment in response to post
this is the trap of respectability politics. a crowd that big could have been cop free in under an hour, but anyone who made the cops feel unwelcome got admonished by the crowd. culture issue.

i truly am wishing him very well because i am certain it took at least a tiny toll!

so the whole ‘we don’t invite the cops’ thing, that we went thru on here. yeah, did y’all change your mind on that? because the cop corkers are only gonna be useful to you for maybe two more marches before they turn on you. just fair warning.
comment in response to post
i know, it’s like the cops were itching to point their guns at someone, they just couldn’t stop themselves, they had to riot. but we can’t expect any better of them, really.
comment in response to post
for me, i was so confused and disappointed when the response was “will never be defeated” rather than “the people united with never be divided.” which RHYMES and maybe i am mandela’d but i swear i heard “divided” first!
comment in response to post
so many mixed feelings about how everyone is showing up. sick of the flags, sick of what it means in the crowd (we haven’t unlearned patriotism), and yet thankful that people have begun their disillusionment. wish it wasn’t so cringe…

comment in response to post
once the bastard pigs fire live ammo on protesters strategy needs to change and we all need to be ready for that as a very real possibility. learn from what has happened elsewhere. guns were pulled on our comrades three times today. that is three times to many to not take that as a serious threat.
