I had some luck handing out literature and striking up conversations

Plus, I think they appreciated when a guy drove up and started screaming pro-ICE stuff, I just walked up and said "Have a blessed day, we love you!" and confused the hell out of him so he left

I like that the regional orgs are using it as a platform for entryism in the same way that they do with most other street protests over the past few decades. It's at least people in a place.

Yup

A lot of them want to do stuff, but don't know where to start

If even 1 out of 5 people I handed pamphlets to show up at the org meetings, I will have done something amazing

Thank you for your service.

The libs love it when I match hecklers' energy, but respond positively

I learned back in the early online game days that people don't know how to respond to loud kindness or weirdness when they're expecting hostility

My favorite way to get under people's skin in CSGO was a bind "say :)"

I had people rage quiting with just a few smiley faces as a response to their crying and screaming

@Civility@hexbear.net get in here and smiley face these big beautiful posters. It isn't the same if I do it.
