Without #communication there can be no #resistance.

Communication is what allows isolated #dissidents to join up, understand their situation, and #plan for #action It is what allows a resistance group to break its isolation to become part of a #movement, rooted in larger #society.

#Resisters need to #communicate to #strategize, #analyze, #mobilize, and #act, especially under #repressive #surveillance states. Good communication is a prequisite to successful #recruiting, #fundraising, and movement-building in general.

And conversely, it is the #corporatemedia and other official channels of communication that allow the government to #control the popular #narrative and imagination, to #smear or #deceive resisters, to divide dissidents against each other, even to obscure or #erase struggles for #justice from collective memory. So it's no surprise-with so much at stake that effective resisters fight to reach out and communicate.

Rarely is that as dramatic as the takeover of a TV station in the middle of a parliamentary broadcast. Communication through less fantastic methods (giving #interviews, making #websites, and sharing #pamphlets) is no less important. Effective communication doesn't have to be a spectacle (and the drive to make it a spectacle can be a trap the mass media use to distort movements).

I’m not going to tell you here how to make a zine or write a press release; those practicalities are handled in more detail elsewhere. I'm going to address bigger questions that are discussed less often:

How do resistance movements communicate externally to reach #sympathizers and #supporters?

How do they deal with the power and contradictions of the mass media?

How do they communicate internally to build a shared culture and organize action?

And how do they maintain safe communication - especially in #underground groups-when dealing with repressive states and pervasive surveillance?

#LastWeekTonight with #JohnOliver (#HBO)

October 27th, 2024. Before the 2024 election, John Oliver discusses #DonaldTrump’s promises to carry out mass #deportations, what some of his #supporters might not realize about the details of those plans, and – shockingly – how #BillOReilly still has a show.

"Geweld, intimidatie en homofobie: hoe Feyenoord zijn hooligans de ruimte geeft"

--> "Feyenoord heeft al jaren problemen met de eigen harde kern. Mishandeling, antisemitisme en homofobe uitspraken zorgen ervoor dat hooligans regelmatig met politie en justitie in aanraking komen. Redacteur Bram Endedijk ontdekte dat Feyenoord deze hooligans [...] vaak juist actief de samenwerking opzoekt."

NRC · Geweld, intimidatie en homofobie: hoe Feyenoord zijn hooligans de ruimte geeftBy Bram Endedijk

Des supporters #israéliens connus pour leur violence arrivent à #Amsterdam, chantent des horreurs racistes, arrachent et brûlent un drapeau #palestinien, agressent un chauffeur de taxi immigré.
Suite a des bagarres entre #supporters après le match, 5 d'entre eux sont blessés.

La presse : "#Pogrom ! Nuit de Cristal !"

L'armée israélienne tue près de 50000 Palestiniens et #Libanais, dont 70% de femmes et d'enfants, puis organise méthodiquement la famine et le nettoyage ethnique à #Gaza.

La presse : "Non, ce n'est pas un #génocide. C'est de l'autodéfense."

HONTE À VOUS !

Simple: YOU DON'T!

#NSAbook, #Shitter & Co. are #garbage for the same reason #AxelSpringer was banned from publication by the #Allies of #WW2 (until some dipshit in 1952 decided to unban #Nazi #supporters for no good reason!)...

#AntisocialMedia are inherently unfixable as per their very definition and design!!!
