Edit: due to privacy concerns over Google Docs, I have made a Cryptpad account. You can read the article there. I’ve also made a Cryptpad folder with all my antifascist articles (more to come).
Fascists take the recruitment online, and it’s important for antifascists to understand how the fight moves on.
We hope that through this exposé, you’ll learn new things about detecting dogwhistles and signs, and how insidious fascists can be when recruiting people.
This exposé has been in the works for a long time and there was never really the right time to publish it. I’m happy to finally be able to present it publicly. Thanks for reading.
good write up.
if you don’t mind, consider posting on non-google platforms too.
I don’t know where else to publish it, but everyone should feel free to repost this article wherever they want to; it belongs to the people.
I have a backup on my computer just in case it gets taken down from Google, but I also understand that people may not want to use Google services at all.

That’s actually a pretty good idea!
sorry for making assumptions there. my brain kinda malfunctioned.
All brains are beautiful :hugging face: :brain:
I second write.as, its a really good platform for writeups like these.
Thanks for the suggestion, I re-posted it there: https://write.as/penguinfriend/an-expose-of-r-consumeproduct-repost-from-google-docs
Can multiple people edit the same article there, though? Because I think that this was a collaborative effor rather than written only by one person.
Codimd / hackmd is best for document collaboration, (or git if ppl are tech savvy), but then you could periodically post stuff to your write.as acct.
I wrote the article myself but I got some help on proofreading near the end! Someone also suggested the “anti consuming of values” paragraph which I decided to include.

Google docs is pretty scary, a lot of people just have their full name in their user profile, so an open google doc like that will expose your info not only to google, but to everyone else even just viewing that doc.
This is some good work! Is there a way to support you financially (if you need it), and if not: consider setting it up. If you like doing this type of work, getting paid for it / getting donations in our imperfect world is worth considering. I’d send you a few bucks just for this.
Thanks, I appreciate it! But there’s no need to pay for this, I write because I like to and because it helps me understand fascism and how to fight it. Knowing that people find my articles useful is enough for me :smiling face:
We also have articles on the sidebar of !antifastonetoss@lemmygrad.ml if you’re interested (they redirect to Reddit).
Someone suggested making a git repo to centralize my articles and I may look into it, but when you’re writing lengthy articles like these, having the comfort of something like Word is a must.
didnt know u could link subcommies like that, interesting
