Antifa Guide: How To Deal With Far-Right Trolls And Media Outlets At Demonstrations And Beyond
Anti-Media Troll Tactic: Noise
Be loud. Enough noise can ruin livestreams and simple videos. But a talented audio engineer can isolate audio from an interview and filter out a lot of your noise.
Play copyright music on your phone or portable sound system to make recorded videos unusable on YouTube and other major platforms.
Get personal. Research trolls in advance, then loudly announce personal information or embarrassing details that they won’t want shared in a public video.
Anti-Media Troll Tactic: Spectacle
Be Ridiculous. Dressing up, playing music and other silly behavior can undercut the fascist narrative of an epic battle between “patriots” (Nazis) and “ANTIFA” (regular people).
Use umbrellas, banners, flags and signs to block the cameras of enemy media trolls.
Fart Whistles. Just like dressing up in a banana costume, you can disrupt serious interviews with audible clowning.
Press Protection Squad
Dedicate a team of volunteers to “protect” media trolls both from getting hurt and from getting useful footage.
The squad physically surrounds and isolates trolls, forcing them to move away from the protest and blocking their cameras.
Hula hoops wrapped in bubble wrap are popular tools in the Pacific Northwest.
You can add a few “FRAGILE” stickers for effect.
