What is a “Walk”?
A decentralized strategy for networking with local anons anonymously IRL.
Why Walk?
Walking allows normally isolated anons to meet with little risk, make friends, and to organize locally.
How does it work?
Step 1: On the specified date, wear a plain white shirt and any style of hat. Wearing these clothes on this specific day serves to identify you at a glance to other participating anons while also providing absolute plausible deniability if needed.
Step 2: Go to the local place that best corresponds to the OP’s suggestion. Locations might include:
Most popular park
The sidewalk outside Town Hall
Downtown’s fanciest tavern
This improves the odds of anons meeting without naming any specific location, making a honeypot or ambush virtually impossible.
Step 3: If you see another person wearing a white shirt and hat, say hello and drop some hints about /pol/ culture. If they don’t understand, assume they’re not an anon. If they do, congratulations! You probably just met a friendly anon.
That’s it! Feel free to exchange contact information, meet up for coffee later, go find more anons, whatever. It’s up to you how to interact with your newfound compatriots.

Walk General for April 2019
April has the weather improving a bit, so lets take a stroll down to a park closest to your local City Hall to enjoy it a bit.
Location: The nicest outdoor park or location nearest your City Hall.
Saturdays: April 6th, 13th, 20th, and 27th
Dub Days: Thurday April 11th, Monday April 22nd
Times: 1:11pm – 4:44pm
Hints:
Some City Halls have plazas or open areas with seating and park-like qualities as part of their property, so that might count as the closest “park”.
If your region is a little cold, just keep your jacket open to show off your white shirt. Or just wear a white coat.
Try to pick a location where you can see well around you and others might be able to see you rather than hiding in the bushes somewhere.
Bring something to entertain yourself with and walk around a bit while you enjoy the springtime weather.

Eat bay fag here, I dont really want to be in SF during 420, or any park for that matter.
I'm thinking somewhere in maybe Walnut Creek, Lamorinda, or something with less degenerates on the 27th.

Any thoughts on that? I could actually make the meet in Orinda or Walnut Creek on the 20th or 22nd but have work the 27th.

I like your enthusiasm, but I would agree with the sentiments saying you should stick with opsec. While it is a generic picture of the San Fransisco City Hall, don't post pictures of whatever park you think would be where you'd be heading. Just encourage other anons in your area to be out there, somewhere, and hope you bump into each other. This month there should be lots of opportunities for that.

One could do it anytime and anywhere honestly, though the reason there are a few suggested dates and locations is to increase the odds of a meetup. It's all a balance between perfect opsec which precludes anyone (including other anons) of noticing you or interacting with you, and getting reckless and setting up easily exploitable conditions. My reasoning is that it is already rare enough for anons to cross paths even with a general decentralized time and place to be, and atomizing it any further is just going to make it even less likely still. I stray towards the opsec side of things as compared to the Walk thread previously that tried to make lists of specific places in specific cities that might work, and I didn't believe that risk was worth taking. Funny enough though, my argument then was that if the formulation was changed towards more opsec, there would be less shilling. I was incorrect on that front.

Speaking of disingenuous, you already were. Transparently so. Your attempts only boost the postcount and make more anons view this thread. I trust them to judge for themselves who is the disingenuous one here.

Well it's an okay problem to have I think. If there are lots of white shirts wandering around with hats, then you need only bring along a book that an anon might recognize. Not Mein Kampf or anything that blatant, but something you might find in a /pol/ Book Thread. If there is another anon about they might say hello to you. And if not, well, you got some fresh air and a chance to read and walk a bit in the early spring.

I'll also add that I do address legitimate concerns a lot in these threads. Go look at the last one. The best comments against the Walk idea so far I've seen have been along the lines of, "But anons should just talk to people normally and not be afraid to befriend people around them." A very good critique, and I updated the Common Concerns section to give my take on it. But the comments that just say, "ur gay" and "honeypot. saged." are useless and reek of concern trolling. I don't usually reply to those.
I'll say it again outside of the Common Concerns answers: If you get a bad feeling about someone you're talking to, disengage. Don't ignore your gut. Likewise even if your gut is pleased, don't let it make you stupid. You don't need to spill your guts to whomever you just met, and it's enough to shake hands and meet up later for coffee on a first-name basis only. And if anyone brings up illegal shit or wants to take seig heil pictures with you or anything stupid, disengage. The biggest threat on a Walk is probably running into a moron who browses /pol/ and can't hide his power level. Not Antifa or the FBI. Be smart.

Not in the slightest. The "park" could be the closest official park in the town. It could also be the park-like areas around many city-halls. It could even be just a nice area with benches nearby in some plaza or whatever. And more particular, which city hall do you think I mean? There are around 35,000 settlements in the USA alone, and each one has a city or town hall or something equivalent. Half of the US population lives in towns of less than 25,000 residents. And the Walk can happen in non-US areas just as well as those South Americans in the other thread show. Better odds than the libraries in some ways, but you're still trying to argue I am being "specific". Ridiculous.
Shall you argue about the radiation guns next? Another invisible boogie-man to frighten the paranoid ones? Drones require operators, and operators get paid. If drones started flying around city halls all over the western world in thousands of locations on a single day, don't you think that would cost a bit of money? Cost a bit of public notice and questioning? Yours is a fantasy concocted either of a wild imagination or a malicious one.

The only paper books I have are from university. Why must this thing be so complicated? I’m not buying a white t-shirt or wearing a hat because that’s out of character for me.
How about this… Oregon anons, meet me at the Pepitas in Beaverton tonight at 8. I’ll not be wearing white but I will be wearing my badge.
