Continued thread

Hoping to make an online library of protests flyers and signs to make it easier for people to print them out and take to the streets.

Can be a more classic protest sign, a printable meme or #antifascist art.

Whatever you think might catch a normie's eye and nudge them awake. The people still on Big Social aren't seeing the things they need to. We have to move this IRL & it doesn't have to bee just mass demonstrations or nothing.

You can email me any files to address in previous post ☝️ or reply to this thread with #AntifaAF

So...because a few thousand people want to live better than any person in most of human history could possibly conceive, we're all gonna die?

And the normies are cool with this?

I feel fairly confident that almost everyone reading this is not. So I ask you once again.

It's 1933 again. WTF are we going to do about it?!?

How do we convince the people starting to realize that #fascism is a problem that #billionaires and #oligarchs are the root cause that needs to be yanked out?

I'm thinking that we need to use #art as a weapon & deploy clever art installations, signs, stickers & chalk art in public places.

Got any other suggestions besides the also important protests, pressure on elected officials, boycotts & union support?

What about examples or ideas for #ActivistArt? Want to join an artist's federation or start your own #ArtFED?

Street Protest (24 photos)

In the world of street art, walls become megaphones for those without a platform. Across cities and alleyways, artists leave statements that challenge power, wealth, and the status quo. This collection highlights some of the most striking protest art found in public spaces—raw, unfiltered, and impossible to ignore. From critiques of billionaires and capitalism to direct political resistance, these artworks turn the streets into a gallery of dissent. Whether stenciled, pasted, or […]

@SnowshadowII I've racked my brain on this, but it's a moving goalpost. We're in a perfect storm where people's feeds (reality) is so personalized that it's going to take creative thinking & new approaches.

Off the top of my head, I think it's going to take IRL public displays of various types. An unreal amount of peaceful demonstrators, too big to ignore. More public projections like the German Tesla factory musk bazi salute. Flash mobs doing interesting enough things for the videos to go viral & linking to things like this to get more people on the fediverse. Plastering public areas, telephone poles with the same or art with qr code to something specific. Chalk & banksyesque spray chalk with stencils. Spread the word of John & Joan Mastodon. They're our Ned Ludd.
