One of the part of Project 2025 is using the military to crush protests, and it will have dire consequences to the whole world. I’m pretty sure the American christofascists will have a much better time exporting their censorship to other countries than China and Russia does, especially if they can just kick out (or jail, or even assassinate) any content provider not doing their dirty job to all regions.
However, some parts of the military are very progressive (they could just betray Trump, side with the people, etc.), and one could make memes about how one can make Molotov cocktails, how to illegally modify your regular AR-15 into a fully-automatic rifle, or how to turn a high pressure washer into a flamethrower.
America is already exporting it’s faschism. In my country (which is now the most hated country in the world) all the right wing strategy is fuled by American billionaires.
But here we flight them in the street, our protests are the equivalent of 10 million Americans protesting each day for more than a year
That’s the crux of social media. Connects like-minded people yet neuters their effectiveness because they think engagement does something in the real world.
Anti fascism is a loose category of autonomous political movements who are united only by purpose: to oppose fascist actors within their community. Anti fascist activists can be literally anybody doing anything so long as it’s to further the goal of suppressing fascism
If your friend calls themselves a libertarian, then my starting assumption would be they are wrong about everything.
It’s true that Trump made some kind of declaration as President, but that was pretty much a meaningless gesture. The US actually has no official list of domestic terror organizations, only foreign. In any case, calling antifa a terrorist organization is absurd.
A quick note on libertarianism: I consider myself a libertarian, but what passes for libertarianism in the US is anything but. Libertarianism is a left wing political philosophy, while the US Libertarian party is far right. It would be more accurate to label them as anarcho-capitalist.

That makes more sense.

Neither of us live or are from the USA. So I don’t think this is relevant here.
You guys should go to the streets in millions! (Or share snappy memes, whatever feels more comfortable)

Britain?
Israel
Best I can do is upvote the memes.

Memes are nice, but this would not bring the change
Agreed. I vote and attempt political discourse but it’s hard to take action these days.
In the best of cases, it can bring like-minded people together digitally who encourage each other to make connections and organize in the real world.
Just make sure that, in taking to the streets, nobody mistakes you for a Hamas or an Antifa
Yeah, don’t be mistaken for antifa. Be antifa!

Aren’t antifa recognized as a terrorist organisation? Not that terrorists are always bad, but it is suspicious.

That’s right wing gaslighting.
That’s what I have been told by a friend who is a libertarian. Is what he said wrong?

A lot of foolishness is born in the US but doesn’t stay here. It might still be relevant.
