I'm still pretty new to keybase, is there a way to link teams? Currently building a 2 circle team there, one that's public and another for the people I've met in person

I wouldn’t link them.

But the issue I'm finding is telling people to search "rside_goons" feels off and I'm not getting much traction

Safety is key.

Right, thus my concept for a public team who's main function is to organize meet and greet and another team for those I've met with

Maybe I'm just going about that the wrong way

Perhaps.

Right now, at least, keywords need to be avoided.

May be good to attempt creating sort of closed non profit groups in various states with the goal of being prepared for disasters. All this stuff, medical, survival, self defense, and so on is important for everyone and more shit can happen to someone than just regular tyranny.

Meet occasionally for stuff like workshops on first aid, bushcraft, weapon maintenance, and so on.

I think we should be do our part during this COVID situation.

Volunteer around and help the nation.

That’s GOOD press.

^ those are great ideas

I've been trying to get my group to do some things for our local community as well

That’s good shit man.

Organizing around the neighborhood, offering to help senior citizens get groceries delivered, etc.

That’s what we *need*.

I'm big for voluntaryism. The government is horribly inefficient at helping people but there's stuff we can do.

Self reliance is defiance.

I put something in <#704466319793192990> given that's where I'm at

Good.

Untill guys stop posting shit like this and pictures of guns pointed at their dicks we will never be taken seirously. We seir need to grow up.

Well aware.

Isn't that the point? Newsflash the "normies" never will. I've been in this movement over 10 years whether conservative 3pers, militia I helped organize one of the largest FB gatherings of "patriotic" americans through a page called "The DC Clothesline" on FB before they turned total Alex Jones. The patriot Teams (broken up by zones example Mi, OH, IN) were a success in getting about 500k pissed off "boomers", Revolutionaries (aka boog bois) etc.
It always goes the same way.
We get pissed off stockpile shit talk shit and die old with an Arsenal like my grandfather.


How can we make this different?

Im already kicking 40's door down bois

No the point is to put out good optics.. no we wont win over everyone but alienating the ones that are center dosent help the cause.. neither does giving the media more ammunition like this to paint us as crased lunatics.. like with the guy that drove around " hunting " cops.. we should have talked him down.. or at the very least put out a public statement say he was not part of our ideals.. if you are here just to shoot cops you are in the wrong place imo. We should be promoting LIBERTY AND FREEDOM not alot cops and everyone we dont agree with. We are an speedos nation. The government has too much power and overreach with no concern to humal life..

So crazy thought, but the idea of a well organized protest that we use to get our message out?
And I dont mean a bunch of us out in full kit, or even camo that gets the MSM to dismiss us out of hand, I mean buisness casual, CC if you'd like, and do it when and where the cameras are going to be anyway. I mean in my state the governor and the mayor have daily press conferences that if say 100 peaceful people showed up to unannounced with a statement to make, that might get the ball rolling in terms of putting our message out

Lets use the current "crisis" and politician's ego against them. Its not like they're gonna stop doing there daily show and tell and most people have that crap on if for nothing else than as background noise lol

I agree with Madison. It’s great we’re all willing to go out in full kit. But once we do that we become a meme to all the people on the left that paint us as the right. Sometimes we need a different approach to get our message out

I think both sides of that coin are equally important

we require the "goons" as a deterrent to government agencies trying to push us out and snuff out our protests
but we also need the CCW well dressed groomed and well spoken gentlemen to engage with media and statemen

We gotta have an olive branch in one hand and a very mighty arrow in the other

Of course! I’m not saying get rid of the goons! Diplomatic methods only work for so long and so much. My problem is the picture that gets painted of us right now especially with the virus going on. It gives the media ammo to make us look like the conservatives crying for a haircut. We have a powerful message that a lot of people relate too but sometimes they see a bunch of armed men and assume “radical right group”

Can we tap into the Sanctuary movment?

We have to work to separate ourselves from that image
because I'm 100% certain our goons weren't there with haircut signs

And for the most part I'm pretty sure we have plenty of gripes against Trump and Republican policies

Exactly!! A wise man once said “to the right we’re liberals with guns and to the left we’re conservatives that smoke weed”

We need some individuals that are familiar with media relations

Lol idk about that but we don't fit in with the typical narrative

The point is that not many look deep enough into our message to see past certain views such as legalization of drugs and firearm ownership
