        Throw glitter. It gets everywhere, is impossible to get rid of, and all know why you got glitter-dusted. It's like a sparkly scarlet letter.

        Likely won't translate to U.S. Germans and Swedes respond to sarcasm and passive aggression differently than U.S. Americans.

        This is the only way. Violent suppression of opposition from far-left antifa militants betrays the anti-fascist label they ostensibly use

        Yeah, this is superior to throwing M-80s at people conflated with neo-nazis (who aren't).
