this is all great advice when you’re planning actual resistance, not cosplaying revolutionaries for social media
Yeah, pretty hard to follow the no phone/photo rule when that’s your livelihood
You don’t have to throw it away. Just leave it at home when you are going to do something that might get you in trouble. If you cannot leave your phone, the don’t go. It’s easy to track. Apparently even in airplane mode
We were talking about people who are pretending to do this stuff for followers
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.
Shoes also leave very identifiable prints, so buy secondhand burners with cash.
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.
Any way around that? Like wearing strange shoes you don’t often wear, like high heels or something?
Step 1 is already illegal in my country on a protest.
God forbid we break the law
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.
paint your face like a tiger
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.
Skin makeup over existing tattoos, then get one of those temporary water-decal-thing tattoos of some random tribal design on the forearm or something.
Bam. Evidence that the person in whatever photos/videos that were captured isn’t you.
What about those fake tattoo sleeves what are like stockings with the print on them? No idea how well these cover the existing tats tho
That might be better for skin coverage too, teargas and pepper pray aren’t just eye/sinus irritants, they affect the skin as well.
Until the fabric absorbs the chemicals and is a constant source against your skin until removed
Do you know that this happens or are you just speculating?
It’s pretty common knowledge for anyone who works with chemicals that the first thing you do when something spills on your clothes is to remove your clothing, otherwise it’s just keeping the chemicals in contact with your skin for it to prolong absorption.
It’s also common knowledge that protective clothing can prevent chemical contact with skin.
As long as it isn’t absorbative, so if you can find a tattoo sleeve made of nitrile or latex go ahead.
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?
People said they could feel their eyes vibrating, I wonder how effective headphones would actually be.
What’s scary to think is that whatever it is, it’s probably flirting with the threshold of very serious harm on a large scale. Imagine all the literal skeletons in the development process for this.
Whole thing seemed more of a weapons test/advert than an actual interest in crowd dispersal too. That wasn’t an unruly crowd they used it on.
If vibrating eyes is true, the noise is probably in the 30-80 Hz range, somewhere like an idling truck engine or a higher end subwoofer.
That type of noise is rarely heard by ears, but felt as vibrations in the body, and is mostly registered as physical discomfort and stress. At volume it would probably be enough to be very uncomfortable, but not necessarily immediately dangerous, it’s probably on par with working in a large engine room.
Hearing protection will help filter any accompanying noise, and should help keeping your head clear even under the added stress. It will do little to lessen the low frequencies.
Low frequency noise has to be reflected through considerable mass and/or stiffness. Think walls or three pane windows, but also human bodies. Maybe forming ranks and rotating members could be a useful tactic?
Absolutely no help at all.
Several layers of foil on your large protest sign, Also bring earplugs.
how about stay away from crowds? one of these days, you’re all going to be cattle led to the slaughter. a much wiser strategy would be to act in squads, spread out, and targeting things that actually throw a monkey wrench in the system.
The problem is that, in D&D terms, you lose action economy that way. A thousand rats might only deal one damage each but all of them at once would obliterate even hardened adventurers.
If people split into groups then yea, the police and whatever would need to prioritize, but the groups could also be handled more safely. Two or three VERY LARGE crowds would be great, but “squads” of even twenty people, against a militarized force, would just be easy pickings. And it’s an exponential loss(just as much as adding people is an exponential gain) so it would be incredibly risky.
D&D rules are an abstraction. please don’t plan a revolution based on a fantasy RPG.
Tattoos are barcodes.
So copy the tats of a local cop matching your build and get scanned
Ew. I’ve seen cop tattoos.
Not the white power ones under their clothes. The dumb tribal ones on their arms you can get washables of for pennies
That’s very clever. I like it. Let’s distribute temporary tattoos of known maga ice folks at rallies.
What’s the symbol on mom‘s shoulder? The O with the ᛋ ?
this is not what it is, but it kinda looks like the flash logo/symbol lol
edit: ok fuck whoever made that png
But don’t cover your tattoos?
Do these people not understand how identifiable tattoos are?
I think your brain is playing a trick on you
Oh my God I’m illiterate
Acceptance is the first step
cringe
why?
Yea I don’t get it. It’s an older gen Anarchist prepping their new gen anarchist child. Something we should foster.
Is that just days n daze on mom or is that symbol used for something in the wider anarchy community?
