The responsible organizer people always say not to engage them, but they look like large thumbs and I want to go tell them that.

I want to engage them at, idk, let's call it 200 yards.

Same, and you absolutely should do that, just not as part of the "official" group. The organizers say that because one of their primary concerns is not escalating things, since a lot of people who might be part of the "official" action are probably pretty vulnerable, and generally it's a priority to keep them safe. Having a separate group of people (ideally in black block) ready to throw down is also a good tactic (at least sometimes), but they're separate from the "respectable" protest group for a reason.

This can also go south so be mindful of the situation. Certain escalations can get those vulnerable people arrested even if the black bloc group is distinct.

A good tactic is to split the group as a diversion, separating the vulnerable from the rest (while not making it obvious - half the black bloc should stay with the vulnerable), and allowing one of the splits to go do cool things. This way, the vulnerable will be blocks or miles away when things go down and won't even see it happen but the cool things can still go down.

You should try handing them an ice cold bottle of Pepsi to remind them that we're all the Pepsi generation

What if instead of engaging the counter-protestors, we got engaged to each other? soviet-bottom

What if we tactically engaged in a romantic-style scenario

At actions my comrades and I would regularly heckle Right wingers, libs, and cops based on how they looked or dressed.

It would get huge laughs from the crowd and they'd look visibly embarrassed and wouldn't know how to respond. I recommend it.

Me engaging the counterprotesters: stalin-gun-1 stalin-gun-2

The competent organizer doxxes the reactionaries and then later [redacted] rather than giving them the response they're aiming for.

Depending on what the protest is about, the counter protestor is likely just going to be shouting or attempting to drown you out with noise. Doesn’t warrant anything but a snicker.

But if you must, do it afterwards. Follow them to their car and beat their ass if you think they don’t have a gun or mace
