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.

Cry and sob hysterically at every occasion, especially when confronted by government clerks

From the CIA's Simple Sabotage manual, intended to be used to provide advice for resistance movements in Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II

Even if you're not interested in sabotage, Simple Sabotage is still a top-tier read. Some of the ideas presented in there are just downright hilarious in how petty and malicious they are.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

What's even more interesting is how these already malicious things are in large part a normal part of corporate america. So it's very easy to do these things without being aware, or to pass it off as being innocent.

Fascinating read. Thanks for sharing.

Also, somehow I was not aware of the term quisling, meaning traitor, or collaborator.

Middle ages white man here. My motto for cops:

I ain't seen shit.

I don't know nobody.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

They'd ask, "where were you last Tuesday between 4pm-8pm?" And I'd respond, "I wasn't!"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The third part I didn't include has less to do with cops and more just anyone I see on the streets.

"Hell, I ain't even here"

I got nothing to do with their shit, I ain't a snitch.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I didn't see nothin. I don't know nothin. I didn't hear nothin. I wasn't even there. I was drunk.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

And I’d respond, ~~“I wasn’t!”~~ "Ask my lawyer."

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Don’t talk to cops. At all. Ever.

Or you do speak to them and give them useless false information that will waste as much time as possible but is easily deniable as rumour. Actually spread false rumours as well. If they are looking for immigrants, start a rumour that a shop uses immigrant labour that doesn't use it at all. You can tell the police that and they will waste a bunch of time over it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Terrible idea unless the shop is run by people you want dead/disappeared, at which point they're probably friends with the police anyways. Doesn't matter how easily disproved, they've repeatedly shown that doesn't really matter.

Also, not sure what the legal ramifications are as this is essentially just SWATting...

I feel like if the liberal playbook is the same as 2016, they are going to be in for a very bad time.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

"Come with a warrant." Shoot them through the door if they insist.

'The only motherfucker who doesn't belong here is you.' In other words, make sure they know they aren't welcome.
