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."

"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.

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.

    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

      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.
