Trades Hall probably can’t say ‘Punch them’ legally or without cops getting agro.

    I read the other day that a good response to these fuck heads is ridicule. They’re not only prepared for a fight, it’s what they want. What they can’t stand however is being ridiculed and laughed at. The most demoralising thing you can do is to laugh in their face because of how fucking ridiculous they are.

    Sure, tell them to Fuck right Off… but do it with a chuckle and a grin. They won’t know how to handle it.

      I think this is kinda what trades hall was going for. My comment in the post text about them not being able to say ‘punch them’ was aimed at folks who might think that by not saying that then it is some kind of capitulation. I remember reading that someone did confront the goons at the recent Melbourne rally and apparently they got toweled because the nazis are prepared to fight you when you’re out numbered.

      Some of the antifascists in Australia have had success with YARDing (Yelling At Racist Dogs): “How to deal with alt-right pests at rallies”.

      Demonstrating to these idiots that they’re outsiders to the communities they’re targeting is, you picked the right word, demoralising. One of the main neo-Nazi organisers here (Joel Davis) made a speech to the UK Patriotic Alternative, quote “You guys might get demoralised sometimes when you do a demonstration and there’s fifty of you and there’s two hundred antifa- I’m not saying that’s happened, but I don’t- I don’t know all the details, but I’ve been in experiences like that where I’ve gone to protests […] and there’s ten of us and, like, two hundred communists. And it feels like shit. i-it’s horrible. It’s horrifying.”

          no it doesn’t

          humiliating people who have narcissistic tendencies is the biggest cause of violence

          learn to understand the personal psychology of individuals and the psychology of movements and how to best fight them , they are two different things
