"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.
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."

You're viewing a single thread.
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.
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.
Start playing "come out ye black and tans"
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 ramblings of deranged cowards?
How much time have you spent in Northern Ireland?
The hell does that blog have to do with Norn Irn?
It's a modern society
You referenced come out ye black and tans, and are currently shitting on the idea of an armed populace, I linked a resource for armed socialists and you shit on that too. I asked about if you've ever spent any time in Northern Ireland, and you dodge the question.
What this tells me is you have no understanding of what you're talking about. Feign solidarity with a historically oppressed people. Finally you're using other's struggles to stir shit on a public forum with little regard or understanding of what you're saying.
I would invite you to head up to Derry. Pop in a pub, start up a rousing chorus of Come Out Ye Black an Tans and stir the same shit. Lettem know how great a violent struggle is, ask em to tell the tales of their troubles. See what community outreach you find there after that.
Eh no, I'm comparing a bunch of pink-fingered cowards who wouldn't stand up for themselves, let alone a stranger, and cower behind their walls of guns like the quivering, selfish shitebags they are
There was nobody like that in northern Ireland
So not a long time in norn irn then. Understood
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.
Sorry to disappoint, but
they’ll find their own way inside anyway.
Warrant or not.
Still, there's no point in making it easy for them. The sooner you accept that your rights won't be protected, the sooner they'll disappear entirely. You must act as if your rights are natural laws of the universe, and if enough people do then they may as well be.
You must act as if your rights are natural laws of the universe, and if enough people do then they may as well be.
That's how we get to where we are now.
Rights dictated to you by the state are categorically not universal nor natural, they exist in service of the state and the capitalists who own it, and they can and are withdrawing them as they please.
The entire point of the post is that people who have more privilege need to stand the fuck up for those who have less, not try and find ways out of doing so.
Edit to clarify: giving the cops the pleasure of kicking down your door and arresting, or even shooting you for "resisting" isn't making their job harder, only yours.
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!
