To Anyone Wondering If It's Worth It To Tear Down Fascist Posters Or Whatever. I Spent A Few Months Last

To anyone wondering if it's worth it to tear down fascist posters or whatever. I spent a few months last year engaged in silent battle with another student at my school who was putting anti trans stickers up everywhere. I had it down to a system where every night I would walk the five block radius they went up in, and tear down all the ones I could reach, and use a stick to put duct tape over the others. Like, within hours of the stickers going up, I would have already purged the whole zone. I knew the basic schedule of whoever put them up based on when and where the stickers appeared. I probably could have found them in person if I'd wanted to. And I told all my classmates and friends what the stickers looked like and got them to rip them down too. And after a few months of this, the stickers slowed, and then stopped forever.

My point is, a lot of this fashy or right wing stuff is one local weirdo. And if you pay attention, and do a little light organizing with your friends, you can basically make their efforts into a giant sisyphisean exercise in misery. You control your streets!

An "arms dealer" if you will.

I scream at the screen, try and will a piece of my anger and rage into the silicon. I ask the net how it can connect me with everyone in the world, and yet I feel so alone. I demand to know how it can show me all the world's atrocities, knowing I can't fix them all.

I pound my fist on the keyboard and demand to know why I feel this way. Who's fault it is, but the black void of the blank screen offers no answers, no remorse. Just a reflection of my own face.

3D printed tourniquets created by the people of Gaza, this is true cyberpunk. Using the net and technology to fight oppression and help your community.

I should note, this is not a perfect solution, 3D printed TQs will have a higher failure rate than commercial medical grade ones. The people of Gaza need life-saving aid and proper medical supplies.

Here are several charities you can donate to help facilitate that.

Also Karl and the folks at inrangetv are excellent content creators if you're interested in looking at firearms ownership and general self-defense from a leftist perspective.
