What did you do?
This used to have a usatoday article:
i sent a bunch of email and wrote to newspapers across the florida
and a few days later the usatoday article was gone
Cool! Maybe you could write an article about how activism works!
its troubling that anti MRAs can change the web so easily
Yep
They say the internet is forever, but it's more organic than that
@InsaneCaterpilla " How do we get around this in our activism efforts?" How much are you aware of the history of activism? I think that question is a mistake
If I were to answer it though, I would say: "rather than trying to mind control six billion people or so, I recommend simply having an organization that can speak for itself, not just the movement. Think NOW, AVFM, NCFM, or ACLU"
AFAIK, angry activism seems to be the effective form of activism
This is one of the reasons I think MGTOW, besides simply being a useful idea in its own right, is likely to be a surprisingly effective social movement despite not really pressing for social change
The problem I'm having is ways to do things without running afoul of sites rules (such as reddits or discords) when performing some activism efforts.
Indeed, sometimes doing things like that can result in the police being called over harassment and such. It makes it harder for activism to be carried out
Well, most of those places don't really worry about that too much if you're not actively calling for harassment (which for the most part you shouldn't be).
I agree that self contained sites seem to be the way to go when it comes to that, that way only the law is really applicable. I think we need a strong grasp of the law in regards to harassment when it comes time to be going down that path
But if you are trying to bug some politician or something, twitter and chans seem to be pretty effective
Though I suppose I'm not sure #TellVicEverything would be allowed on twitter nowadays
Chans?
I know... I'm just not sure how using @channels helps, nor how they would be used
Are you talking about recruiting people from there?
Well that's one of the public places you'd put an internet-based activism campaign
that wouldn't really care too much about things that aren't legal harassment
It's been a while since I ever went on any /pol/
I've actually never been there, I've just heard the legends
Mmm... Ok, thanks for the input
It's okay to recommend contacting various groups or corporations. The circumcision centre is an exception because some of the intactivists are *guaranteed* to start calling them paedophiles and other nasty things right off the bat.
@goodmod That's a fair point.
By the way everyone.
I'm looking for graphic designers to make an 'attack pack' for the mrm
This would basically be an 'mra branded' pack of stickers, mini posters, big posters, bumper stickers, and so on. Idea is we let people download and print them or buy the phisical pack for cost off of some sticker website.
What do y'all think?
YES! Exactly what we need
Logo
Strong, basic, easy to draw
Good idea.
Excellent idea. One that could even be stickied in a few days, to ask for volunteers.
I little mascot could be cute too... or too cheesy? xD
