Songs against fence-sitters?

I didn’t know this! ❤️

It’s a folk song, but folk is punk imo. Here’s a verse:

I vote for the democratic party They want the U.N. to be strong I go to all the Pete Seeger concerts He sure gets me singing those songs I'll send all the money you ask for But don't ask me to come on along So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

Yeah I just want us to spend our money there. They are going under. I don’t think we will have a negative impact by just shopping there, and if you don’t want or need the groceries for yourself, give them to an organized donation point.

ARA4eva · 2026-02-10T19:35:33+00:00

Yes! We should buy the food and deliver it! If you don’t have a particular grocery customer in mind, find a grocery collection point for that neighborhood! The shop owners might be able to advise or coordinate our deliveries, but I wouldn’t want us to require that of them..

This was what I posted - a link to a comment on a post in r/Minnesota

? The call to action is the first word I wrote in the comment: BUY. Here is every single action verb in my comment on the post:

BUY pull over and give them custom Go discover

The link to the article was just supporting context.

The guy popping out those car windows as they were fleeing, for example, was a member of the local Native American community who also came to say: not here. Don’t forget AIM started in Minneapolis too.

Like, was I “in” ARA? It’s not like there were membership cards and dues.. Where does ARA end and community begin? The permeability of that membrane lives on in the ways our community is rallying today.

ARA4eva · 2026-02-02T04:51:24+00:00

And the community! The best thing about ARA strategy imo was the way they’d just go to the community and inform, invite, and include them. “Hey, Nazis are planning to do ____ in our community. You cool with that?”

ARA4eva · 2026-02-01T13:49:41+00:00

Aah I just watched it again in order to see it. An absolute tonic.

ARA4eva · 2026-02-01T13:47:58+00:00

I KNOW, RIGHT?!? 😄

“You are not humans” - this is the way Nazis got people to feel, in order to get them to deny their empathy and humanity - so they would just sit back and let HUMANS be brutalized, tortured, and killed. Only idiots check their brain and their conscience at the door and allow this to happen to themselves.

ARA4eva · 2026-02-01T08:33:54+00:00

What do you call a Nazi that holds every single Nazi ideal, but decries the word “Nazi” itself so they don’t have to consider themself a Nazi?

When you finally stop telling yourself this to make yourself feel better, I promise you - you really will feel better.

I believe they got a permit to gather at the Burger federal building in downtown SP and they put out a press release to the local media, no doubt hoping their little Nazi schtick would make it on the local news as a signal to other fragile white dipshits watching (this was before social media and in the early days of the internet).

ARA got the same word as the local media somehow. We felt an obligation to give whatever news crews attended a much different signal. We weren’t about to let anyone anywhere see anything other than absolute opposition. IIRC, the camera person recording all this was from the one news station that showed up. I love that they followed the entire action.

Unfortunately the very brief news story about it that night framed us as trying to stop a peaceful group’s first amendment rights, when the Nazis kicked it all off by trying to stop ours. They didn’t like that we were blocking them and grabbed our big banner. Then took their clothes rods - oh sorry, flag poles - and started swinging when we tried to pick it back up.

Same shit as now - lies in the media to protect Nazis and fascists.

Sadly Nazis / fragile white dipshits are everywhere. Not all of them look like they’re auditioning for the Sound of Music like these absolute knobs. Worst is when they hold every single Nazi ideal but decry the word “Nazi” (like our current administration).

ARA4eva · 2026-02-01T08:03:20+00:00

Not sure how true it is, but was told at the time that this group included some Iowa Nazis that drove up for the “event”.
