Regarding the US and The Orange Man
-
I sadly don´t know what the original source is (I got it from @[email protected]) and while this is clearly aimed at the american people, I´m convinced that this advice is not only helpful for us europeans handling the orange man but als useful handling our own authoritarian characters.

Some Wise advice circulating:
1. Dont use his name.
2. Remember this is a regime and heis not acting alone.
3. Do not argue With those Who support him - it doesn´t work and it makes
them feel important. lt makes them feel theytve won something.
4. Focus on his policies. Do not focus on his personality traits, his physical
appearance, or his mental state.
5. Keep your message positive; they want the country to be angry and
fearful because this is the soil from which their darkest policies will grow.
6. No more helpless/hopeless talk. The numbers dont lie, there are more of
tust than there are of them. Feel that support.
7. Support artists and the arts.
8. Be careful not to spread fake news. Fact check it.
9. Take care of yourselves.
10. Resist! Keep demonstrations peaceful. In the words of John Lennon,
"When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the
system's game. The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your
face - to make you fight! Because once they´ve got you violent, then they
know how to handle you. The only thing they don´t know how to handle is
non-violence and humor."
11 . When you post or talk about him, dont assign his actions to him, assign
them to "The Republican Administration". This will have several effects: the
legislators will either have to take responsibility for their association With him
or stand up for what some of them dont like; he will not get the focus of
attention he craves. His representatives will become very concerned about
their re-elections.
(Copy to paste to your wall - wider than sharing)I really like the last point, because it reminds us of an important point:
The ENTIRE republican party is compromised and at fault for what is happening, no matter the level of administration. They either embrace it or quietly fall in line, both supporting the regime. And they will do again once the next dictator is pushed to the forefront, so dont trust them.
They have prooven time and again that there are no good republicans and once this blows over, they need to be excised from every level of society. Otherwise they slink back into the sewers and hatch their return, quietly undermining our democartic and societal values.

Regardless of who the original author is, the advice seems good.
-
I'll still call him The Orange Man, would do it to his face. I get the feeling it's one of those insults which he plays off like a cool guy because he can't afford an honest reaction, but is eating him up deep inside. I can't miss out on that possibility.
Honestly I feel like it would hurt his ego more to be reduced to a generic Republican. I feel like he hates nothing more than getting ignored.

(Copy to paste to your wall - wider than sharing)- No. I'm with Harry Potter on this one.
- We know.
- First rule of interacting on social media but also IRL. But I'd like to specify: Try arguing in good faith, but as soon as you realise they're not interested in that, abandon.
- Yep. But he is mentally ill, and this needs to be pointed out: no sanewashing!
- Anger is valid, too. Not mindlessly though.
- Always.
- Always.
- Always.
- I see it more differentiated. Also it is very common to substitute the leader for the country in political discourse, and I don't think it's a relevant problem.

You may be right. I was basing my initial hunch on the fact that he seems to be almost impressively vulnerable for a bona fide narcissist, "The Orange Man" would still highlight him as significant.
My past relationships make sense now, the Universe was Mr. Miyagi-ing me into a machine for punching Nazis!

(Copy to paste to your wall - wider than sharing)I agree with everything except 10. because at this stage a resistance movement needs a political branch taking care of protests, strikes and keeping the public informed as well as an armed branch taking care of other things. Peaceful protests will soon be banned and once they are it's much more difficult to rally, arm and train people. The government moves fast so it's crucial to be prepared.

Very good list though.

(Copy to paste to your wall - wider than sharing)You're not fooling any algorithm by not mentioning his name
The text appears to be a piece of political commentary or resistance advice targeting a controversial political figure. While it doesn’t mention a name, the language and references suggest it's about Donald Trump, particularly during or after his presidency. Phrases like "Don't use his name," "This is a regime," and "assign them to 'The Republican Administration'" strongly hint at opposition to him and his political influence.
This kind of post circulated widely on social media, especially around the time of Trump's presidency (2016–2020) and leading into the 2020 election and its aftermath. -
Behind almost every peaceful protest was an armed group demonstrably ready to make things very not peaceful. Your school history book just likes MLK better than Malcom X.
Exactly. We can't treat this like a schoolyard bully who just wants to make himself feel big, no matter how much the big man acts like it - the government has real power over us, and is already putting legal citizens in foreign prisons to die. This isn't pulling our beards and flicking our faces, this is putting a gun to all of our heads, and pulling the trigger for some.

Show class and integrity, don't just argue about the lack of it in others. Do what's right, regardless of what others may think, regardless of the waves of negative opinions trying to dissuade or turn you against your own ideals by acting rashly and out of sheers spite.

Behind almost every peaceful protest was an armed group demonstrably ready to make things very not peaceful. Your school history book just likes MLK better than Malcom X.
History books and the US Government likes MLK better than Malcom X because MLK didn't advocate violence against the ruling class.
Bearing in that the FBI literally tried to discredit MLK and have whitewashed their involvement.

(Copy to paste to your wall - wider than sharing)Yeah, ask this is great expect 10. Violence isn't a bad thing, it just needs to be done tactically. Starting a fight when the cops are already there with the bait bricks they layed out? Not smart. Doing something at the governing body's place of residence when there aren't cops around? Sends a message.
I get it, people are scared of consequences, but at this point they're putting people into gulags whether they have some something or not so you may as well.
