The charities Imouhagh International, Kel Akal, Diaspora of the United States, and the Azawad Solidarity Association accuse them of crimes against humanity and war crimes.

Sounds like the the organizations complaining are mostly for the Western diaspora. Just makes me think of similar orgs for Ughyrs or Tibetans or w/e that are solely made up of people who work for the U.S. government or NGOs it funds.

I'd like to hear what the Tuaregs actually living in the area think.

They don't believe it's wrong to assault women; they just believe they're their women to assault.

It is lib shit, but at least it's "Liberals being Liberals" and not "Liberals scolding leftists for not being Liberals"

This is the essence of "meeting people where they're at", though. You are not going to turn a significant percentage of the white middle class into disciplined Marxists. The material conditions don't exist for it.

It's like, I'm in the PSL and we organize a lot of protests. Our local Indivisible branch is pretty cool as far as Libs go - they're willing to work with us, they're willing to learn, they're pro-trans rights and lean towards Palestine (but Indivisible at the national level forbids local branches from doing Palestine stuff because they're full of Zionists). And they have thousands of members, in a relatively small city.

But recently they've been expressing anxiety to me about liability - that they haven't been able to get event insurance for their protests, that they're being told they need insurance to get permits, that they believe in going through "the proper channels" especially because we live in a Democrat city. They're worried about prosecution or lawsuits because they're professional-class boomers, they have qualifications (legal/medical/engineering/etc.) that can be taken away, they have houses they could lose in a lawsuit, they have kids and grandkids to take care of.

It comes down to material conditions. The more I work with them, the more empathetic I try to be - they're doing what can be expected of them wrt their class position in society. They're not Marxists but they're never going to be.

I've been doing a lot of work with 50501/Indivisible recently. Because my account is somewhat linked to my real identity I can't be too specific or critical. But here's my take:

"Kool Karyn" is almost definitely a member of Indivisible, a nationwide Liberal anti-Trump org whose membership is almost exclusively old, middle-class, white liberals.

In my (majority-black) city, a majority-black protest of 30 will get drones and snipers and tear gas. Indivisible got 2,500 (almost all older, white) people out at a public park protest and the only cops we saw were probably just on their regular patrols.

I'm gonna punch against the grain: Karen is giving perfectly reasonable advice for her contingent, for the kinds of protests that her organization is organizing. You can criticize their politics, their strategy, their class relations - but cops are not going to drive an AV through a crowd of kneeling white boomers. And the way her post is phrased, at least, does not imply that she is giving general advice to all protestors - just the people going to this particular protest, which will almost certainly be 90% old white libs who are in practically no danger of police violence.

And just like a bunch of black students were shot at Jackson State and no one cared but when a few white students were at Kent State it was suddenly a big deal, if the old white libs do come under fire, the public and media will care. And, for their politics and class position, that's actually somewhat brave - old white libs are never going to riot, but (and trust me, I don't mean this in a hateful way) the most useful things they can do at a protest that is within their temperament and ability is commit to nonviolence and have violence brought unto them by the state.

I love the idea of people in Scandinavia and the Netherlands holding a "No Kings" protest referencing Trump lmao

Left-Wing security culture is paranoid and idiotic. I think it's a bit silly to file a FOIA request about a niche left-wing online forum but it wasn't, like, snitching lmao. It's publicly available information.

Just for this I will write to the CIA, NSA, DOD, as well as all my local representatives (Governor, federal Rep, state Rep, Mayor, City Council president, and county council long-term planning chairman) to inform them of the existence of Hexbear dot Net. Expect the site to be shut down and all users jailed within the week. If you require assistance smuggling a pack of cigarettes into jail up your butt, DM me.

I'm posting from Lemmygrad so I downvoted you, comrade.

I love it when I see a post on Hexbear with like 10 Lemmygrad downvotes, it's like a secret handshake.
