Disclaimer: before you post anything ask yourself if you are going to dox yourself or someone else and if you are going to get anyone put on a higher priority watchlist than they're already on, yourself including. If the answer is yes, do not post it.

Some things are better talked about in an oblique way (and referencing Minecraft after the fact is about as useful in this regard as posting an image on Facebook saying that you do not consent to them using your personal information), some things are better off whispered in person, some things are better off not talked about at all. With that out the way...

What are some interesting things that you have come across?
What are you surprised about not being adopted more widely?

Shits getting real and it's worth having a discussion about what can make protests more effective. I'm talking group strategy, personal tactics, protective gear - anything really.

PPE wise? people should wear life vests to reduce rib breakage percentage against blunt objects, or wear a bed roll across their chest like this

also the adoption of wearing pistol belts/regular belts so that the people behind you can grab you better? safety glasses/ shop glasses made of polycarbonate will stop you from going snowblind, damage from uv rays, and hopefully will help you keep your eyes if you get shot with rubber bullets
