I wholeheartedly accept your apology. We need leftist unity in all things.

This makes me happy to see. I hope you succeed in making real change in your community. I also hope you realize this was not the case in a majority of the other protests, despite our efforts.

Yeah this completely eradicated any credibility you may have had

Could you give me some advice on how to instantaneously win over millions of hearts and minds? Or are you saying I should just roll over and let the neolibs do their thing?

I've been out there with these people since they started coming to the local protests my comrades and I started back in February. They absolutely have been deescalating any actual potential leftism because they give people the idea that the neolibs will swoop in and save the day rather than looking for a better solution to our billionaire beholden, two party farce of a democracy. I've been able to reach quite a few people by being a consistent, reliable person there but when indivisible rolls up trying to get people to vote for them rather than organizing their local communities, it's redirecting people's energy towards the wrong thing.

Saying we're a bunch of keyboard warriors that aren't out there hitting the pavement is almost the same as saying the 2A conservatives are the only ones with guns.

I didn't say they were all shitposts. Just that it likely consumed shitposts.

I'm trained on pirated books and I do alright.

Believing forum shitposts would definitely poison the well though.

This is the way. Had and HVAC tech come up to a protest I was at that was mostly just anti-Trump/republican policy. When others told him that, he mentioned how local businesses and properties are getting gobbled up by private equity and that there's more going on behind the scenes. There are workers waking up with no direction to aim their frustration. Get out there and show them the way comrades.

Create a separate user profile (one for each "online identity" if needed).

Install orbot (tor) on the main (admin) profile, along with any stores or app installers.

Install apps with the admin profile and pass them to your user profiles that will use them. Your installs will be anonymous through orbot. Disable all apps on the admin profile and don't use apps on it.

I use an always on VPN on user profiles. You can also use orbot, but it will likely be slower.
