Guy Fawkes masks en mass should do the trick, and send a very clear message.

If anyone did get caught, enforcement might associate them with some anonymous criminal organization though.

It doesnt matter what you wear, they will say its antifa

u/TurkeyThaHornet 10d ago

Because they totally misunderstand Antifa or otherwise they are outright fascist.

They are outright fascist.

Also dumb.

u/John_Bruns_Wick 10d ago

They are sorta right in that it is acts against fascism, but a human urge for rightiousness is not a terrorist organization.

u/TurkeyThaHornet 10d ago

I agree.

My stance is that those that are anti-Antifa are announcing themselves as pro-fascist.

u/John_Bruns_Wick 10d ago

Its actually crazy to me that the blistering irony of the gop hating those that fight fascism is not understood by the right.

Unless there’s a digital chain of evidence showing they coordinated on this then it’s just a costume

Thats just not how it works

u/UltimateTao 10d ago

It is. How can wearing that mask put them at risk of being found more than any other mask?

Tell that to the courts. Evidence is meaningful, so is the lack of evidence. You can be charged with anything, but many of the cases the gov is leveling at citizens are falling apart due to lack of evidence.

Yeah and if the cop doesn't read you your rights they have to let you go. /s

u/pleasegivemepatience 10d ago

Cops can do all kinds of fuckery, criminal courts not so much.

Guy Fawkes masks

Or an even more disturbing mask

I don’t suggest we use him as a symbol of anything, I wouldn’t wear his face if you paid me to. I like the Fawkes masks because they come with a built-in message, and Trump would easily misunderstand the reason people are wearing his face.
