        Basically, taking any steps to defend yourself in general:

        • being armed
        • wearing a mask to obscure your face
        • wearing nondescript clothing
        • wearing PPE to defend against pepper balls etc.
        • having GrapheneOS on your phone
        • using an encrypted messaging app
        • etc.

      They are making this general principle into an invisible organization and anyone they have a problem with will be labelled as a kind-of-terrorist. Their base is lapping it up already, so prepare to see more of those “ties to antifa” in the coming months if you stick around…

            Never really can be. It was never a hacker “group”, it was a movement in a way. A name chosen by whoever wanted to use it. A big part of Anonymous was always that anyone can be it.

            It was media and governments that started the narrative that it was a group with a hierarchy of leadership. But at the end of the day, that goes against the fundamental idea.

            So very similar to the antifa ideaology.

        Also Texas is easy place to set up legal precedent, making it easier to pull the same shit in other states

          But SCOTUS ruled that they can’t set legal precedent for all districts with a single case. Every case has to be tried individually. Lets see if these assholes stick to their own rules.

            Districts having different precedent isn’t new, and when those precedents conflict is usually when the SCOTUS will agree to hear a case. The recent ruling I believe you are referring to is that district courts can’t set nationwide injunctions, only injunctions within their district.

        Bondi has already said that this is the first of more charges like this, they’re ramping up efforts to ‘dismantle’ and ‘find Antifa cells’ across the US.

        There’s a reason the concentration camps are permanent structures, while the reasoning we’re being told at the moment is for temporary use. That reasoning is dishonest and will disappear as we see the truth, in which case case they won’t need to lie any longer.
