Regarding the US and The Orange Man
-
Here is a corrected transcript (mostly just added missing apostrophes). Feel free to correct the post.
Some wise advice circulating: 1. Don't use his name. 2. Remember this is a regime and he's not acting alone. 3. Do not argue with those who support him - it doesn't work and it makes them feel important. It makes them feel they've 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 don't lie, there are more of 'us' 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 don't 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)Thanks for that! I updated the post

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.
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!

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.

(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.

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.

- 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.
/11. The Republican party supports him and are complicit.

We talking about Inmate P01135809?

(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.

(Copy to paste to your wall - wider than sharing)Leading by example. Yes.
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.

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.

I'm glad this is at the top.
They don't want protests at all, but if they have to have them then they want peaceful ones. Peaceful protests are very easy to ignore.
