Why ‘Just Ignore Them’ Is Terrible Advice for Dealing With Neo-Nazis

"But, to the surprise of no one who remembers hearing it themselves, it turns out “just ignore it” is not an effective solution to violence."

from the PDX IWW GDC:

Earlier today a comrade in Portland had their home raided by the Portland Police in relation to one of the recent demonstrations. The Portland Police detained this activist on charges including rioting, criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct. The police seized many items of clothing, some goggles, and walkie talkies. In these situations, remember to get all paperwork from the officers and look it over to ensure they are only taking what is listed on the warrant. Take pictures of any damage. Do not talk to the police. Once the police have left, or you are released, immediately contact the National Lawyer's Guild, your comrades, and the GDC (that's us!) to get the word out. It’s important to communicate about what is going on, and be upfront with your comrades and community about what happened while interacting with the police, and anything you learned in that process. We are stronger and safer when we openly share information and support each other through these experiences.

You know, for someone who is supposed to be innocent, Jared sure does love using the language of abusers and narcissists to assert his innocence. Not to mention his ableism is disgusting, calling his accusers mentally ill and dismissing them on that basis.

Oh, and look, someone already did the work of picking apart that pathetic video so you don't have to : https://twitter.com/Zenrotto/status/1166428394373992448

Tech bros are really friggin' problematic.

An industry that forces crunch-time slavery, is rather unstable to work for, and which for decades has been misogynist and objectified women as trophies and rewards has turned out to be a breeding ground for problematic entitled bro culture.

I really would love this to not be the case, but more and more individuals keep coming out as being toxic manipulators and abusers.

Of course, this isn't isolated to the gaming industry...

Marxist-Leninists creep me out.
