      This article is fascinating, and reflects what I've been feeling thinking for a while. Newnan *was* different. It was a setup, because these things are often setups, and the work that has to be done is not just in the street.https://itsgoingdown.org/from-confronting-fascists-to-facing-the-police-state/amp/?__twitter_impression=true …

      The numbers game is not on the side of the anti-Nazi movement, even when it feels like it is. Through attrition the state will whittle down numbers.

      I have been criticized in the past for not sufficiently supportive of black bloc/smash capitalism tactics. Whether that criticism is fair or not, we have to earnestly confront the reality of the enormous cost of every action.

      White anarchists and anti-fascists also need to continue to be mindful of the blowback on the local communities of color that these actions can have.

      We need to build communities of love and support and mutual aid, erasing racism and bigotry and misogyny and sexual violence in our own communities first and foremost.

      Throwing bodies at the system over and over doesn't feel like a win to me.

      Lest this seem like a fascist victory, it is not. The street rally game for them is lost, and while it certainly can come back and must be opposed, this is not the only struggle that has had an impact.

          TWP disintegrated because it was, like all of these groups, built on lies and power dynamics. If you listen to what Matt Parrott said about the downfall, it's revealing.

          Just as much as he blamed (credited?) "antifa," he blamed the SPLC, too. Which is telling in its own way. TWP lost the publicity game that they wholly depended on.

          Look, I've read the TWP discord logs and for all the nasty stuff, it is 85% shitposting. There was no measurable substance to any of their policy talk.

          Richard Spencer, too, claimed that "antifa won." But let's be real about how that win manifest. Sure, he depended on optics to sell his wares, and he wasn't pulling optics.

          But he also cannot sustain the legal burden. Sines v. Kessler is just as much a deterrent as any other action.

          I do not believe he has the liquidity people thinks he has. Thr majority of neo-Nazis hate him, and people even slightly to the left of him hate him even worse. He doesn't have a lot of runway. He never actually had that much.

          Fake news is bad and things are really scary but we need to stop pretending like neo-Nazi groups are two stops away from totally converting the masses into doing Hitler salutes and burning crosses. They're not.

          The people who benefit most from the shift of the Overton window aren't the people on the fringes. They're the people just beyond the edge of where the window is currently at. That's a thing worth spending a think on.

          I definitely support building communities of support and anti-oppression. The rally game is still quite active where I am, though. Perhaps relevantly, even most of the most extreme fash here use optics-aware alt-lite fronts that are easier to fool the public with.

          They're also getting more aggro about trying to disrupt left-of-center actions and events, here. How to best deal with that is a whole other question. But I keep hearing from lots of different people about how the rally game is done, and, well, not everywhere.
