White folks are used to being polite and accommodating to cops. Do not fall into your old ways. For once, your silence will not be violence. STFU if the cops come looking for your neighbours. No matter how friendly.

Fascism only works if we go along with it. Fascism only works if we surrender to it. Resist. Do not say a word about your neighbours. As far as the cops are concerned you’re a recluse who doesn’t talk to anybody where you live."

ID for all 3 images: White text on a black background:

"Fascist raids by law enforcement should be met with:

I don’t know.

I can’t help.

I do not know anybody’s legal status.

I have no idea who is an immigrant.

Do not fall into your old ways.

Fortunately for me, Im a recluse who doesn't talk to anyone where I live

I was on board until you randomly called out "white people" for no reason, to no benefit. Good job pissing off an ally for no reason.

The problems is that there are many people who, even when they themselves are generally powerless and under somebody's boot, positively relish the opportunity to feel superior to somebody else by helping press the boot on them.

Sadly, some of the oppressed are only meek or nice out of fear because of where they are in their power structure they'e in and when they get or are given the power to do so without consequences, turn into evil oppressors.

Right. This is a call for people who haven't already made that choice, to make it. Now.

The only proper response to a door knock is "come back with a warrant".

Rights are rights for a reason, don't let that shit erode any further.

Start playing "come out ye black and tans"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 hours ago

That's a song about people standing up for their rights and for those of others, doesn't really apply to the US, let's be honest

Most will be sitting on their pile of guns, quivering with fear

The only proper response to a door knock is to not open the door.

If the fascist pigs have a warrant, they'll find their own way inside anyway. Otherwise, they can stay the fuck out.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 hours ago

Sorry to disappoint, but

they’ll find their own way inside anyway.

Warrant or not.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

That is fine while you have the rule of law and independent institutions to enforce those rights. When those institutions are eroded or facing the barrel of a gun then people's rights might as well he written on toilet paper.

You can't make up for a dysfunctional political system with demands for fictional rights.

People from one particular notable country always get the emphasis wrong in my opinion. Perhaps they are all brainwashed. They think the rights uphold their system when in truth it is the system that upholds the rights. It has kept them blind to the reforms needed to breathe life into a system that barely qualifies as a democracy by modern standards.

Totally stealing this.

I'd also like to take this moment to remind how to handle a police interaction in the USA, in a one minute video described by a few lawyers: STFU Friday!

I grew up in a small town on the border when the border patrol would ask us if we had seen any aliens we would always just look up and say I think I saw one flying around up there

[–] [email protected] 0 points 17 hours ago

This is the way.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I actually support some limited deportations, not at all what is being set into motion. But in regards to this post, you should never talk to, or assist the police. There is always a good chance they're looking at you to trump up charges even if you're completely innocent.

"I don't consent to searches. I don't answer questions."

Fuck your borders

[–] [email protected] 0 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Fuck your lack of standards. If you come here as a refugee, great. If you then rape someone or murder someone we shouldn't pay for your imprisonment. We should kick you back to the place you were fleeing and let them figure out what to do with you.

Strawmanning belongs elsewhere this is an anarchist space.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Why the need to single out white people? The blame goes around to many groups.

With regards to talking to the police follow the advice given in this video named Do Not Talk to the Police.

Ah, yes, "not all white people!!12*"

But somehow also "not only white people!!11" (my morbid curiosity kinda wants to know who the fuck else you think christo-fascist white supremacy* is serving, benefitting and protecting, but my sanity demands I don't engage with you any further).

Which amasses to "I'm too busy centring myself* and my whiteness*, and finding a way to claim some victimhood in this situation, to hear what those who are actually under attack are saying"

Check your fucking privilege*.

That is if you're even willing to examine your white fragility

*If anyone needs image descriptions, please ask

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Non-whites have never been police, never talked to police, never voted for the Evil Party and shouldn’t be included at all in advice to not be evil, misguided or duped.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Your statement seems to be inaccurate. 16% of black voters and 43% of latino voters in the U.S. voted for Trump. If we go by your logic, which seems to be that "People who didn't vote Republican don't need to hear this advice.", then this post applies to all ethnic groups in the country, especially if the Trump administration does go looking for every unregistered immigrant in the U.S., and they do this by knocking on people's doors out in the street instead of using the advanced surveillance tools that they and the big-tech possess.

If you need a /s at the end of that comment to get the sarcasm you are really really bad at reading context cues.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

I think I am, yeah. Edited the original reply now to turn it into a sidenote :D

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 hours ago

Hahah fair enough

[–] [email protected] 0 points 17 hours ago

I watched this video 12 years ago, and again just about every year since.

It's basically the most important video for anyone (especially Americans) to watch and understand.

Hard disagree.

Tell them you know where to find lots of heavily armed illegals up to no good, and give them the names and addresses of any Maga friends and family members you know.

Maybe lie that their last names are Sanchez or Ramirez. Waste their time and energy.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

"I don't know, but people are telling me they're named Sanchez" but don't do the Trump voice.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 13 hours ago

Richard Sanchez. Saw him with a minor, doing dodgy stuff. Maybe stealing, or attempting to steal something. Heavily drunk.
