I was hoping he would return and actually give some answer to this question. It seems all of the discussions stop at the "we should be scared" part, and never moves into the what we should do about it part.
My answer is I dont know.
Right so how do we fight this?
we are beyond all of this, we cant compete with this attack financially
We have never been able to financially compete in this country, but we can get ourselves together and then leverage others:
1. Minimize social media and be VERY cautious of news you receive from those outlets. Between the Twitter ownership and advanced AI I can see them deploying deepfakes to elicit a certain reaction from the populace, spread disinformation. Verify something off social media before you take it as gospel.
2. Minimize your data footprint. They are tracking and profiling us with social media usage and other things so while you can't hide or go off grid, if you minimize your footprint you can be less of a target for hostile actors, especially racists trying to dox or whatever you:
First, make all social media private and stop posting unnecessary shyt or data about all your habits/movements
Second, take the social media apps off your phone. I only use social media on a laptop with no geotracking and a covered camera
Third, contact the main data brokers and opt your data out (there are tutorials online about this)
Fourth, type in your name and home address and name and phone and find the sites that list your private info online and contact them to take it down. Almost all will and it may take a few hours but nobody needs your info out there easily collectible.
Fifth, put your house in a trust to remove your name/address online
3. If there is any part of your family's life DEPENDENT on direct federal government aid, game an alternative now. Nothing is perfect but if they crush the buildings at least you will have a plan (unlike 99% of people)
4. Become active in a local Black community group. Not the old ones like NAACP or whatever but a group in your community where you can network and get support with like minded brehs/brehettes. You can't save everyone but small organized groups can save themselves
5. Be careful of public demonstrations---they will be scanning faces for professional or legal retaliation and may even want to test run firing on protestors like in the 60s so while we need to fight, finding ways that are effective and not as easy to hit back again like protests can be key.
Also need more black wealth in crypto, not those altcoins... Im talking exchanges etc.
Ehh...I am not sure if this is as good as it sounds. I say this as someone who was involved in BTC very early (and sold way too early like a dumbass). All these coins are manipulated by whales and there is no floor for the drop in value if they collapse. The big holders are the early investors, miners, hedge funds, and rich people/governments. Unless Black folks know the best coin to pile into early I don't see how this can help.
The fascists are raising money in pump and dump for their plans and unless we think a Black elite should pump and dump the masses, not sure this can help us. I would encourage Black folks to put 5-10% of their wealth in precious metals. Start with silver since it is cheaper then get some gold.
Now maybe if cash was outlawed and we needed a medium of exchange outside the monetary system a stable crypto could help but that is treading water.
Yeah I mentioned this earlier. A lot of this was avoidable tho. I remember sounding the alarm back in 2021 when I saw a lot of this play out. All nikkas had to do was tell their relatives to stay off twitter for a minute, otherwise dude wouldnt have bought that app
. They (stan twitter, new black twitter, etc.) made the block hot and put a target on black folks. As WS on truth social and Gap started to leave for Rumble, some of them migrated to twitter due to the entertainment they got from the black twitter shenanigans. I watched this shyt play out in real time too.
Black folks talk too much online. I agree here but these plans were long in the making. Thiel and Sacks have been moving like this for years. The big surprise is that Elon and a bunch of other SV elite who wouldn't fukk with Trump in 2016 became MAGA for their own interests. Black Twitter alone didn't cause this. There is a big fight amongst American oligarchs and we are collateral damage.
I also think the BLM protests scared/pissed them off more than Twitter since we shook society.
