We get it. You're angry. You're fed up. You’re tired of living in a country that treats your kids like target practice and your rights like clearance rack merchandise. You’re watching the rich hoard everything, the cops play soldier, and your leaders use Bible verses as toilet paper after shitting on the Constitution. You’re watching billionaires jack off to stock market graphs while your rent goes up and your hope goes down. And this weekend, you’re going to do something about it. Good. Do it. But for fuck’s sake, do it smart.
Because you’re not just fighting the system anymore. You’re fighting the algorithm, the surveillance state, the riot gear cosplay police, and a nation so jacked up on Mountain Dew, meth, and misinformation that they’ll kneecap your civil liberties while waving a flag they barely understand.
Here’s your PEACEFUL PROTEST CHECKLIST, straight from your sane, polite, maple-scented northern neighbors who know a little something about surviving a dysfunctional empire’s shadow.
BEFORE YOU GO:
– Tell someone where you’re going and when you’ll check in
– Full phone charge, backup charger, and no, a cracked screen doesn’t make you invincible
– Comfortable shoes. Closed toe. You’re walking, not modeling.
– Dress in layers, no flashy logos unless you want to be easy to track
– Mask up: not just for germs, but because cops have facial recognition and zero chill
– Bring a sign if you want. Just don’t bring one so big you can’t drop it and run
PHONE SAFETY:
– Use a passcode, not your face
– Airplane mode = peace of mind when you’re not filming
– Location OFF
– Back that phone up like your dignity depends on it
– Do not livestream unless you know what you’re doing. You're not Spielberg.
MENTAL PREP:
– Breathe. Not because yoga’s going to stop a flashbang, but because panic gets you arrested faster than rage
– Know why you’re there. And no, “for the vibes” isn’t enough
– Stay chill. The guy frothing at the mouth next to you is probably a fed
DURING THE PROTEST:
– Stay with your crew
– Know your exits
– Don’t talk to provocateurs. Don’t film them. Don’t fucking engage
– If you’re filming, you better be documenting—not clout-chasing
IF YOU ARE UNDOCUMENTED OR A NON-CITIZEN: Do. Not. Go. This is America. They will deport your ass for sneezing sideways. Allow the citizens to fight this round. You fight by surviving.
And listen, Americans: no amount of TikToks, hashtags, or lukewarm presidential statements are going to fix this. You are. But only if you show up like you mean it—and not like lambs to a livestream slaughter.
Because you’re not just marching for justice. You’re marching for your lives. And we’re watching. We’re rooting. We’re hoping you don’t fuck it up.
Love, Canada
(P.S. Bring water. Not Pepsi. Unless you think you can bribe riot cops with carbonated sugar water and privilege. Spoiler: you can’t. Stay hydrated, not delusional.)

When I say this what it translates to in reality is pretty much just what other countries are doing to Tesla stores. That rn masse in the states would be enough. Just a few fires after making sure the building is clear and the factory itself isnt in an extremely dry area. Like Cali, probably just throw bricks there. "Going Luigi" isnt necessary in my opinion, regimes fall with the figurehead and then we just make sure we hold everyone actually accountable to start. I dont mean people should just riot and murder in the streets, thats never something that should happen.
All of that stuff needs to happen too though, just not at THESE demos. Do that tomorrow, or It will fuck things up for future 50501 demos.
I didnt say do that tomorrow. You dont just turn it up at a planned peaceful protest. You plan a place to be rowdy like the other countries do.
"The time for peaceful protest is over.
Now is the time for disobedience."
Then maybe make yourself easier to understand, because this sounds very much like a call for violence at a peaceful protest.
I mean its true. You're obviously not participating in the signal groups. We have vastly more people than J6 had and we're just letting our country get fukt by billionaires and their leprous lackey. Its fucking embarrassing. The peaceful protests are a nice sign, but its past due to just physically pull those people out of office and try them for all their crimes. Not saying its gonna happen, not saying turn an existing peaceful protest into that. What I am saying is its past due for that and nobody had the vision to plan for that when it worked for Trump forever ago and we knew this outcome was coming.
You're not lying. As a European, i would love to see the American people return to the times when killing Nazis was celebrated.
