So I'm about to attend a major anti-racism protest in the next few days and have no idea how to prepare myself...

Good to know. I plan on bringing a backpack.

Bring a gun dude, assuming you're in America. You don't wanna actually use it but we need to show force. If you do this you'll need at least 1-2 buddies with you though who can look out for you since you can't really get into arguments yourself with a gun.

Really fucking bad advice there.

I'm in Canada actually.

There are a ton of fascists here. My province is going through it's own refugee crisis right now and the demo is specifically countering racist shits who want to shut down the border.

You guys should stop with this shit.
You treat racism like it's some disease at birth, like some people are born with it. I'm sorry but it's non that simple. There are material conditions behind the problem that are completly ignored, in favor of naive liberalism. You should go there and educate the people. Try to convice them to protest the real causes behind racism.

If you're planning on doing any black bloc shit then try to keep your regular outfit something that's easy to slip the hoodie/jeans etc. over top of. You'll want to change while in the crowd and after performing illegal shit drop into a secluded area to change out. Don't wear that black get-up around too much, it's sketchy as fuck and you'll attract attention.

I would pick a fairly light and easy to conceal bag. A gym bag or something similar is ideal and to keep your essentials (goggles if you're bringing them, vinegar soaked rag, etc) in the front pocket, somewhere really easy to access.

When I want to the Charlottesville rally I kept my ID and phone in the car. Probably more than necessary but it can't hurt.

Just be civil and dont be overly rude to the fascists.

I think the worst the fascists will do is just shout a few cusswords or shout their views at your face.

Yes, I plan on keeping my hoodie in my backpack. I will be wearing red until shit goes down.

Bring a gun, and make sure you have a permit for it. Fascists have already shown they're willing to utilise brutal force against their opponents. Also make sure to film this shit. Could make for some more quality Holla Forums cringe.

I'll film it. I'm actually terrified of guns. If I could afford it I'd get body armor.
