again, it's not the cities

I know, I agree with you @Goose

you want to do an action around actual neo-nazis in hopes that would gain us positive PR

"see? we aren't as bad as they are" is a GOP trope that has sunk their ship

I just think that it's a bit much to say that skinheads are gonna walk up to us

It's not like these guys are roaming the streets 24/7 ready to walk up to people

@Jacob I agree however, a strong skinhead reputation is a place we should avoid. I don't say it's Mad Max out there but, if they are present they may simply acknowledge the common ground of fighting for our European people & want to talk with us etc. Having photos of "friendly with the Nazis" moments...I don't know. Maybe I'm paranoid.

Did you guys know that Indian dude was in a Skrillex video?

I’m telling you these boomers are next level

@Johnny B. Populus I agree, I just disagree with your reason

again, no need to put a national org's image at risk for a small action that has more cons than pros

Can we give the Indian guy a nickname

@Goose Agreed, the "good guy badge" is ineffectual.

@VinceChaos can't be anything rayciss tho like....Cheif Drums4Smirks.

@VinceChaos "Speaks-with-lies" seems appropriate

Stands to close.

Sandpoint is a city with thousands of people and a functioning economy, it's not a bunch of skinheads ready to "walk up to us".

I agree that we should avoid it because of the stigma after hearing reasoning from @Goose, I just think that using the reasoning that skinheads are gonna walk up to us at any moment sounds overly dramatic

Definitely nothing racist guise

Chief Stands Too Close is great Nerv

@Jacob one rule to think of when doing anything in the name of IE is "minimize risk, maximize reward"

Stands too Close is good.

that's my favorite so far

@Goose You should get a raise. That's good thinking.

thanks, but the kremlin can only afford so much

@Goose Ya I agree with that. Where do you think we should draw the line, though? Couer D'Alene has a bit of a "racist" reputation, but it's also a regionally well known city for totally normal reasons.

No Soviet overtime? Sound like Bolshevik propaganda but ok.

i'll leave that up to your state coordinator @Jacob i know nothing about those areas or even your state lol

fair enough

>tfw I *am* the assistant coordinator for Eastern Washington 😳

oh snap

well it's definitely a discussion for the activism server on slack

@Jacob "Its lonely at the top time"....command decisions are the worst.

I'm not a blue name, because I'm still under command of the Washington coordinator, but it's basically my job to plan stuff here since Niko has enough to deal with in Western Washington

It's kinda like how in the Soviet Union there was SSRs and ASSRs

Eastern Washington is an ASSR

we're not as dense down here except for florida and georgia

I'm uncomfortable with any comparison of us to the pinkos but I understand what you mean.

Alright, show of hands: how many IE members were former communists?
(I'll raise my hand)
