    I’m talking about hiding one’s identity. I thought that was evident. Guess it needed explaining.

      And what do you think I’m talking about? Cops and fascists want to hurt me for saying it’s not okay for their boys to kill a member of my community. I don’t wanna give them any opportunity to come arrest me for some made up bullshit about how I was doing disorderly conduct in public, and then resisted arrest, and then assaulted an officer. If you’re getting out in public with your face in view and not worried, congrats. You’ve won the racial lottery. Meanwhile the rest of us gotta keep our heads on a swivel because of our facial features, hair texture, and skin color depending on what the cops find to hate in us.

          So… Be an activist in a way that works for performative white liberals? Is that the overall message you’re gunning for? Because I mask up to protect my brethren when we go to fight back against police injustice and fascism. I’m signing my shit by showing up and risking arrest. We mask up because some of us are more vulnerable to wrongful arrest and conviction than others. Stop telling people the way they’re fighting fascists is wrong and hiding behind saying who you’re actually standing against is the proud boys. Your stance is cowardice. Your stance is to paint within the lines, to be polite, and to ask nicely for the lives we were born into this world with a right to but aren’t always given.

            lol… my stance is cowardice? Funny. Considering you have no idea who I am or what I do. But the fact that you make blanket assessments of people online from a mere few sentences speaks volumes about you.

            We’re done here. This is useless.
