BIRD SANCTUARY

So apparently there is a nazi clubhouse in my city and I'm debating myself should I put my money where my mouth is. In minecraft.
It's not a small larp either, several local and Nordic groups (Blue&Black Movement, Nordic Resistance Movement, Soldiers of Odin etc) hold their meetings and events there, they invite international speakers and guests, they have their own 'fightclub' teaching combat skills. Since their landlord supports them, they act publicly and proud. Police won't do anything as they don't break law. City officials either remain silent/no-comment or those being members of the populist party currently holding governmental power give strawman arguments about freedom of speech and most likely visit them during weekends.
Punching nazis is always morally correct, but I got couple decent things going on so not interested landing in jail for anything. In minecraft. Since police is aware of it, they might surveillance it to keep "them on our radar" or to honeypot idiots like me. It locates in industrial area and the neighbouring buildings belong to mid-to-large companies, so even if the nazis do not have proper cameras the neighbours do, which means I would need to carefully scout the area for recording coverage. In minecraft. Has doing bunch of small purchases across several different stores ever worked to disproof predeterminate intent, or is it better to slip them in to my regular large purchases? In minecraft.
Also, don't worry, I have read my activism history, suffrage, pipeline exploding; only property, not people. In minecraft. Even nazis are human. Barely.

the best offense is community defense. are there any antifascists near there that you can coordinate with? i would like to gently discourage you from taking any action on your own. can you build an affinity group? not to tell you how to do your activism, but it might be best to start by identifying the people attending and getting the people that live nearby involved to kick them out. make sure that piece of shit landlord is identified too, fucking nazi collaborator on top of being a fucking landlord.

just remember that the longer they're there, the worse it is for the value of the local birds.

Yea, fair point. I've been passive bystander most of the time so an 'opportunity' to do anything might have put me on the edge. Touching grass and finding people with similar values would fix a lot of my issues. Don't know where to look for them tho. Local Pride-event is coming up, so maybe there?

Idk if this would make some people suspect you of being a fed or some other bad actor, but maybe print up some business cards or flyers to hand out at the pride event. They can have a brief mission statement/goals and contact information (make a new email specifically for activism and almost certainly don't use your personal phone number, maybe signal/telegram/whichever one isn't compromised lol) advertising a new local anti fascist collective.

Also, do more than just hand them out. Make a personal connection and get to know the people you're talking to a bit. And for the love of Ra, mask up, it serves multiple purposes!
