Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I agree these people are bad, but if you're on the left at a protest, hide your face also. It's not worth exposing your identity to potential employers or the police. Hiding your identity isn't just a fascist thing. Everyone should be doing it.
I understand that there are cameras everywhere now and that some of my views could be held against me by asshole bigots, but I have nothing to hide about my brand of politics. I will state them proudly because I believe they are just.
Now, if the argument is that fascists might dox and harass or harm me or my loved ones, then I might consider it. But I'm not influential in any movements so I don't consider myself a target.
Many people with just causes have been attacked, by right wing extremists or the police. The police are not our friends. It won't be an issue for most people, but I still think most should protect their identity. The more people doing so makes it harder to identify anyone.
I'm not sure on the rules on it here, but you should link your torrent, unless you think it'd hurt.

To hell with these people.
When anarchists and tankies are dressed that way at protests, it isn't possible to tell whose side they are on. Are they there for civil rights, or are they right wingers (or even undercover cops?)
I also don't buy the argument you guys make good protection at protests. Against who? The cops? Every person who goes to a civil rights protest knows the history, they know the risks, and they go anyway.
Anarchists and tankies should not be grouped together.
Yes, protection from the cops, and yes everyone knows the risks. Because they know the risks, they should take precautions. They should know cops will target them, so they shouldn't willingly give up their identity.
You guys are the protection from cops? Brother, they dress up like you to throw bricks through windows as excuse to go after the rest of us.
Now you want us dress like you so that the media can then take the cops side when the fighting starts?
You are not our protection and we are not your cover.
When have they needed an excuse? I'm not saying everyone needs to be dressed in black block or anything, but don't just give away anonymity for no reason. They'll abuse your self-righteous attitude and it won't protect you.
The more of us willing to drop the anonymous organizing, the safer it becomes for those of us who aren't anonymous.
