I always carry 2 items on me; a sharpie and pretty butterfly stickers.

Sharpie is kind of obvious. I use it to write phrases on places where people will see them. Just last night, I saw a “trump is a pedo” on an electric box, that one wasn’t me.

There were a few incidents of antisemitism, Islamophobia, and other hateful stuff in my area. I saw a sticker on the back of a stop sign that said “reject woke nonsense”, so I bought pretty butterfly stickers to cover things like that. I try to cover that kind of hate with something beautiful.

Being kind to people is the best nonviolent protest you can do.

I work with people who dislike me. I make them work at it. Like I don't come up and give them a hug, but if I see someone isn't feeling positive, I say hi, wish them a good day, etc. I believe when we spread malice, it spreads and it grows. I believe kindness can do the same, and more of us should put kindness out into the world. Help people. Let someone go ahead of you. Hold the door for someone. Stuff like that.

I always enjoy images projected onto the offenders buildings.

Join a party like PSL, and be ready for violence. Pacifism is handcuffing yourself and handing the gun to your captor. That's not to say that protest should only be violent or adventurist in nature, of course, but we should prepare and be ready for revolution, and that starts by studying strategy and tactics, training in firearms, first-aid, logistics, etc, and organizing in working class parties.

Shooting cops with guns.

A group of Bus Drivers in Okayama did a fare strike; that is - continuing to run Bus Services whilst not taking any fares. Apparently it worked quite well - management felt the pressure whilst they faced no backlash from the public from Bus Service disruption.

Maybe not interesting or creative, but shopping locally and buying from small businesses helps.

Property damage is the name of the game. Part of why the ira was so successful is that they tried not to kill civilians. They'd put a bomb next to something expensive, tell the police to get everyone out of the area and then blow it up.

That's the extreme example but you can do other things. Graffiti and breaking windows are super quick and easy and are real expensive to fix. Target damage to corporate buildings and private property, don't be the dick that vandalises public transport

Was wondering why everyone couldn't just dump their bags outside a politicians house who could have power to affect change.

Because that's likely violating a number of city ordinances and possibly also several crimes.

I think a PETA-style human display would be a good idea right now, in the imagery of Pretti/the Last Jew in Vinnitsa.

I remember this incident being pretty funny:

Any things to spread awareness on issues and the reasons/persons/systems responsible? Together with actionable plans?

If it is efficient and 'viral' that would be the best non-violent thing

Is property damage considered violence?

I've taken a lot of inspiration from people like Robby Roadsteamer and humor based protesting (pdx frog stuff). I have medical/financial issues preventing me from doing much on the street but I would definitely be doing thus style of protest if I could.
