Doing it for personal use, without profit or gain, is supposedly illegal. Doing it for profit certainly appears to be legal.

This is it.

It doesn't have to be UU but you better find a team.

It's completely illegal.

Who's gonna do something about it? The FBI?

It's really shocking to me, from the US, that this is a compulsory fee and not a tax. It's like they want people to hate and resent it. I guess it hurts poor people? IDK.

Fair weather friends are no friends of the LGBT community. We need to treat this as permanently burning that bridge. When they come back after this... runs its course... we need to tell them to go fuck themselves.

The problem is they're going to decide who is and is not antifa. If they say you are, then you are. And if they say antifa are terrorists, then they are. Something like this is the end result in the "war on terror" stuff from the early 2000s. Or, alternately, "anything I don't like is woke" except they'll send the cops and/or feds to crack your skull or just straight up kill you.

They aren't gonna beat up white people about this. not yet. It could be coming but it won't happen yet.

My man, very very little is being asked of you and your response is to lecture about how wrong the askers are in their asking. Are you going to be an ally to people in need or are you going to be an ally to whiteness?

[–] winterayars 1 points 3 weeks ago

You literally cannot.

This isn't about you.

White people's race does play into this, same as non-white people's race does. If you're white (passing) it's unlikely the ice is gonna show up and throw you into a van.

Trying to make this about you is shit. Nobody cares.

They really want it we gotta fight them off. It's tough because they have all the resources and institutional backing, but they are particularly stupid and inept so it's not a foregone conclusion.
