I do t know if I’ve said this here before, so apologies if it’s redundant.

Im making stickers now, skaterpunk style resistance stickers. The online world needs to be taken to the physical realm where it can’t be ignored, can’t be marginalized and can’t be censored.

Memes need to be weaponized, made physical, and used.

I know someone who's been doing this for 2 years now, wasn't online but would print reports and stories exposing the nonsense and stick them up in shops and even the local medical centre waiting room. I think this is probably very worthwhile, so many people just listen to corporate radio and TV and don't go online so know anything about the junk science, fraudulanr safety trials, excess mortalities etc.

Have you seen the stickers made by the group 'The White Rose'? It's great to see them popping up all over the world. Good luck with your stickers, too! :)

You're exactly right! The next step is moving offline.

One of problems with ‘online’ movements is that they’re, well, online. A group of 100,000 people may be a large one online, but when these people attempt to make real-world change, they tend to find they are actually quite spread out. This is something we discovered during the Ron Paul years, and something that Bernie supporters faced during his election runs.

So goal #1 in moving a movement from online into meatspace is finding meatsuits in your area. It sounds simple, but without this step nothing else matters. Connecting with like-minded people in person not only grows the support network, it’s also incredibly cathartic after a couple years of being forced apart and bullied by our peers!

Some people are doing networking like this as we speak. Robert Malone is constantly running around giving talks and meeting with local groups, as is Steve Kirsch. But it’s time we all made a concerted effort to ‘take the next step’ and form real-life bonds with those in (or out of!) our area.

The form this will take is likely to be different for everybody, because everybody has different circles. Some of you may find allies in church or your already-existing monkeysphere. Maybe you can dust off the contacts of those old Ron Paul buddies. Perhaps you play beer league softball or are in a pool league or sewing circle or a million other groups that give humans a reason to gather.

I subscribed to your Substack. I’ll start my own. We should brainstorm.

This is the way. I'm betting that somewhere out there we've got experts in malign creativity. :)

I’m an expert in malign creativity. This is my ballpark.

I lack computer skills to make the memes I have written down, websites, etc…

I’m an analog propagandist in a digital world.

You can find a meme generator online by searching for them, not much skill required, just a good imagination.

I bet it will be even easier to find somebody with the computer skills! I've added you to my 'HELP THESE PEOPLE' list and hopefully we can find an awesome match :)

Perfect. I’m working with limited capabilities on the tech side, (my limited capabilities), but I’m happy with what I do have, and some of the stuff I’ve got needs to be polished by people with better skills.

Photoshop, adobe illustrator, actual sticker making capabilities (multicolor).

But I’ve got entire BOOKS filled of content.

So far I’ve been working with cricut and learning it. It gives me some editing software, and the ability to make vinyl decals and shirts.

I completely agree with you. In the digital world we lose every time to Netflix and the news.

"When It Stops Making Sense, Just Stop It."

I like that!

I never wore a mask, but today, seeing the fogged up glasses, just put 2 + 2 together. If your glasses fog up, how well is that mask working? Even though I know a lot, sometimes I feel so dumb.

If you can think, you're not dumb (in both senses of the word).

These are exactly the types of memes I was talking about when I said we need to blanket the streets with powerful messages!

Expand full comment

Amazing!! Printing and spamming my neighbourhood (last time I did this with Bob Moran’s cartoons!)...guerrilla marketing is the way to go now.

Expand full comment

If I was to make one change it would be to remove the bullet points and replace them with numbers to reinforce the "Twice" as 2 would be the last thing they read before the message.

I think it's brilliant. I wish I had the self control to ask simple questions when people believe stupid things, let them come to a more logical conclusion. But I tend to just tell them a few truths, with a bit of agitation in my voice. It's much less effective, my approach. Maybe we can kick start people into using those cool contraptions we've all been provided, aka brains.

Shared on Twitter. I like the idea of making these into stickers and putting them up where you would least expect to see them( I am thinking gp offices, vaxx centres). Actually anywhere they might be read is a good place. ABIM, another covid hero/warrior. Thank you for all your work💕

Put them up around night club and food districts, food halls, high foot traffic public areas. Remember a lot of cities and large shopping concerns are running facial recognition systems. Do it at night and here is a helpful tool.

When it comes to the Bivalent booster (jab #5).

Don't think twice, think mice - 8 of them.

That's the entirety of Big Pharma's safety and effectiveness testing!

See that would make a good meme. 8 white mice on a black background.

Pfizzer Booster Safety Testing

Only eight mice, please think twice.
