You can fight ICE by annoying them

Mess up their food/drink orders- Lose their tickets/reservations

Overtighten lug nuts, strip spark plugs

Give them incorrect but real-sounding information

Record them with your phones

Disrupt them with loud noises (car alarms, music, banging metal) and bright lights (flashlights, headlights)

Shame them

(fuck yeah)

The fascists want complacency.

Do not give it to them.

(fuck them white supremacists )

Its similar to why you cannot put bad people in a class of their own. The moment you do that you stop being able to see the bad things that the people closest to you do a la "my best friend couldn't have said that racist thing, they're not evil."

The moment you think you are immune from this type of backslide into right wing nonsense is the moment you stop questioning yourself enough to keep yourself from backsliding into right wing nonsense a la "I mean im not antiscience, im vaccinated, I just think that fluoride in our water supply is imparting children's ability to learn as fast as they otherwise could without it."

It's really easy to stop paying attention and suddenly find yourself surprised and confused by new things, new ways of things, what the kids these days are up to. And it's pretty human to react by saying "oh well, that's stupid, I hate these kids, things were fine the way we did them." And that's sorta the first step. That first kneejerk "I don't understand this and therefore feel negative about it."

But spending time around younger people, spending time online with people younger than you, people in different communities, it's a vaccination against that.

The secondary useful thing is to learn to research and assess data, this stuff thrives on kneejerk reactions. Does an article make you angry, is a person listed as being xyz without saying what the actual issue is? Check. Confirm it. Try to understand the u familiar in more detail and ask people who are experts in the subject with lived experience to help you if needed. Be immune to clickbait even if it is designed to affirm your anger. This emotional reaction is often targeted algorithmically to up engagement and polarise arguments.

You can absolutely still be angry and still have beliefs to fight for. That is important and valuable because anger informs justice. But it needs to be backed up by accurate info or you risk fruitlessly expending your energy on simply doing the media's work for them.

I do agree that spending time with younger people is wise. I read as quite childlike myself and I also don't have the supposed bad experience with Gen Z that get constantly thrown about, they are mostly much nicer than the boomers and better informed. I would say this is also important the other way around.

But this is just one example of not getting polarised by groups, people get radicalised and dehumanise others when they get marooned in one demographic. They also are typically happier because being scared and hateful towards others is not typically a pleasant state of mind. This also means if it is safe we might need to occasionally interact with people who make us annoyed or a bit uncomfortable for this reciprocity to happen, but that is much safer as part of a varied community as that will dilute the ability of that person to cause harm.

DIRT documents: [# 5]

Drift stitching is a repair method where zip ties, wires, or clips are used to hold cracked parts together after an accident.

The technique became popular in drifting and motorsports because damaged bumpers could be repaired quickly without replacing the entire panel. Small holes are drilled along the crack so the material can be stitched back together and reinforced.

Over time, the repair style spread beyond racing and became common in DIY car culture. People have also used this method on motorcycles and anything in need of a temporary fix that doesn’t immediately hurt the wallet.

So unlike Mario, who continues to be essentially a void with no internality, I actually act with thoughts and intent and already did do that when writing this post.
