CW: possible violence
Afaik there are only two, but chances are there are many more I don’t know about. They’re affiliated to a relatively big group in the capital city and they’ve been putting up stickers, and other fascist stickers have been popping up as well, so I’m scared as fuck.
The ones I know about are only highschoolers, but they’re only a year younger than me so technically they could try to overpower me.
There isn’t a big chance of organizing, because aside from artsy high schoolers the left further from the socdem-lib is almost dead (aside from a small feminist collective) and being reactionary is the standard. I live in a relatively small city, in case this matters.
I did see an antifa sticker once, but I think it was a guy from a city one hour away from mine, that I know from ig. There is a bigger antifascist movement there, so I guess trying to contact him to do something is my only option, but still, I don’t think it’s very likely for anything to happen against the nazis, they’re just high schoolers so they could easily be dismissed as edgy.
I’m posting this partially for advice but mostly to vent bc I have no idea if there’s much that can be done from my situation.
Also, any opsec advice to improve the description is appreciated.
I could try putting stuff around on social media, but I have no idea about forming orgs, and I don’t think it would be taken very seriously either (I’m finishing high school)
I did have a chance to make friends with people that I think were more or less based left, but I didn’t use it because social anxiety. They’re the artsy hs people I mentioned. Aside from them I guess I could get support from antifascists in neighboring bigger cities, but I don’t know what else.
Maybe I’m being overly pessimistic, the solid left party got like 700 votes last locals, which is almost nothing compared to the main parties (libleft, libright and fash) but is still a lot…
I could post stuff denouncing the stickers on instagram, but they’ve been there for a long time and it could seem like it’s been too late, or something like that, idk
I think I’ll do that, and if it actually gains traction I’ll ask here about what to do
You’re right. Trust your gut.
I think that if you IRL knew 10+ of them, you’d be so much happier. Sorry that it’s hard and scary to be a leftist. Really.
Most likely. Most of my friends are either right or apolitical, and honestly I’d be much more comfortable if I was mostly around leftist people, even socdems, just because they wouldn’t be spitting shit all the time “for the jokes”
