CW: possible violence

Afaik there are only two, but chances are there are many more I don't know about. They're affiliated to a relatively big group in the capital city and they've been putting up stickers, and other fascist stickers have been popping up as well, so I'm scared as fuck.

The ones I know about are only highschoolers, but they're only a year younger than me so technically they could try to overpower me.

There isn't a big chance of organizing, because aside from artsy high schoolers the left further from the socdem-lib is almost dead (aside from a small feminist collective) and being reactionary is the standard. I live in a relatively small city, in case this matters.

I did see an antifa sticker once, but I think it was a guy from a city one hour away from mine, that I know from ig. There is a bigger antifascist movement there, so I guess trying to contact him to do something is my only option, but still, I don't think it's very likely for anything to happen against the nazis, they're just high schoolers so they could easily be dismissed as edgy.

I'm posting this partially for advice but mostly to vent bc I have no idea if there's much that can be done from my situation.

Also, any opsec advice to improve the description is appreciated.

This is quite scary, especially if you live in that country with The Fart in power.

What is also weird is if you went round talking about workers rights or acceptance, you would be deemed to be the threat, or brainwashed.

I don't, it could be worse. I live in europe, with a socdem-left coalition gov but with a rising fash-rightoalition gov but with a rising fash-right.

I think there have been demonstrations in defense of the welfare system, but in neighboring cities

There's also a feminist collective too, now that I remember.

I highly recommend reaching out to the feminist collective! They'll likely have local insight and advice that we don't have.
