How so? Thanks for the heads-up regardless.

This is why private groups (IRCs, Element etc) are better than public forums in some ways; you can control who gets to see and engage with content.

Although if they aren't both active and focused on some goal, private groups will usually spiral into glorified water-coolers or internet drama.

Greg Johnson wrote a series of articles about how he organized a successful meet-up IRL. They are on Counter Currents somewhere:

There are also explicit white nationalist groups such as The Mannerbund and Mark Collet's UK based Patriotic Alternative.

How to get involved IRL would make a worthwhile subject for a separate post.

Do you have a link for that meet-up article?

This is a bit more generic, but I'd be interested in your feedback: https://saidit.net/s/debatealtright/comments/8bwc/guide_to_attending_rallies_protests_and/

Here's the article I was referring to. I am sure there are more on the site.

Counter Currents:

So you’ve found a local group of people. Now what do you do? To answer that, ask yourself what all of you have in common. First, you share political convictions. Second, you have a desire to socialize with like-minded people. Not everyone is there to engage in activism. Not everyone is there to debate fundamental ideas about political ideology. And if you press the group in these directions, it will dissolve.

Thus, the first lesson for both activists and ideologues is not to try to refashion the group in terms of your interests; instead you should think of the group as a place to find and recruit people who share your particular interests; if you treat it as an opportunity to meet new people, you have a stake in the group’s continued existence.

So how do you keep the group alive and make it flourish? If you are not going to engage in activism or debate about Evola and Norse paganism, what will you do? [Cont...]

Greg has also posted about IRL security and dealing with being doxxed; both things he has had experience with.

Thanks for the article about attending protests IRL. Can't really add anything except to be careful about what sort of event you attend and to remove anything (earrings etc.) that might get damaged in the event of a tussle. Telling people where you are going, having money for a phone call and a number for a lawyer might also be useful. I'll add these comments to your thread.
