Should we beat and arrest the students or maybe sever ties with a nation committing war crimes? Better get those students and arrest record, looks good on job interviews.

Vast majority of protesters arrested don't end up with any charges or a record, the police know this, but they still get their mugshot taken which gets posted online by right-wingers, doxxing them to potential political violence.

which is why we should do the same thing to conservatives. don't get bullied. bully back.

Last I was on Twitter a couple years ago there were antifascist pages that did that, the ones I followed were banned while the fascist 'antifa watch' pages I've seen are promoted. But I agree, Twitter won't work for it anymore but we should have some kind of fascist watchlist.

I've thought about the deck of cards of terror suspects the US had, with higher members of Al Qaeda or whatever, we should have that for the top fascist politicians and war mongers. It should be well known the names and faces of the people pushing us off the cliff.
