I instantly feel safer in cities where lots of stickers like this and "Antifascist Action" ones survive.
Probably why the person made that comment - they're privileged enough to not even consider that apart from potentially making Nazis feel unwelcome (because literally no one thinks stickers will "defeat Nazism"), and more importantly, this kind of action makes those the Nazis target feel seen and know that at least some locals would have your back..
This is also why I wear my pro-LGBT+ shirts around town. In a progressive city somewhere, it would probably make little difference -- but in this rural conservative area, it's really important to show people that they have allies.
Plus, it works as chud repellant. I have fewer people approaching me telling me the most bigoted shit I've ever heard, thinking I'll agree.
Yeah, same. I don't often leave the house, but when I do being a wheelchair user I know I already draw attention from all sorts of people, some good, some bad, so I just lean in to it and have a load of pins on my jacket, some progress pride flags, some "immigrants welcome" type messaging, some autism and disability visibility.. Might as well..
Lets those who need it know they're not alone, and others know their bullshit won't be tolerated.
You rock!
And roll..
Lol, sorry.. 😂
Thanks.
What a grand idea, thanks
Agreed. Symbols are incredibly important for helping people feel safe and welcome, if there are a bunch of antifascist and pro-leftist symbols, I feel way safer than if there were confederate flags, Nazi symbols, or MAGA symbols.
Not gonna lie, I saw those stickers all over Frankfurt and it was nice to see them, lol, even if it does not bother Nazis, it is still nice
I'm also protesting on the streets against them
You're protesting against the stickers?
Your comment sure is gonna show those people protesting Nazis! Right…?
Your comment sure showed me! Right?...
I like how you decided to join me in laughing at what I showed you in a mirror. This was fun.
Remember folks, don’t be like Lemvi, stay in school.
All you people are commenting and are beneath me for it
Stuff like this shows fash they aren't welcome in our communities, and they can be used to cover up fash propaganda as well. If stickers/tags didn't do anything then Nazis would probably stop doing it too
Yeah, that's gonna show those nazis! Right?...
