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.

Sorry if your post is heartfelt, but frankly, with all of the recent flooding on this board, I find it far more likely that most of the dissuasive posters including yourself are just intentionally deploying yourselves here to prevent people from networking. I understand every thread is going to have its namecalling and vitriol. But to /pol/-frequents there is very clearly an abnormally high concentration of attacks in threads like this, oriented specifically against attempts at networking. I'm enough of a loser to have been lurking on /pol/ long enough to know that passer-by trolling usually does not look like this.
Obviously nothing I can prove; it's an anonymous board. But this brand of total assuredness, in implying that this behaviour is run of the mill organic posting, no chance of D&C whatsoever, really is quite disingenuous and frankly underestimating your average reader's sense for shilling, hijacking, etc.
So say whatever you want about everyone quarantining themselves here due to their own social ineptitude. If it truly is so ridiculous that a bunch of socially-inept rejects organized some big gay meetup, I have a very hard time believing there would be such a contrived effort put forth to bully and rip them down. If it really is all so stupid and childish, then you playing the concerned father preaching bitter wisdom, would know to teach your kids to not be afraid of scraping their skin up. What are you really teaching, to be dissuaded against doing what you want to do by some soccer mom wisdom about making friends and slaying dragons? THAT's fucking gay. Let them try and fail if you're so sure.

That's my thoughts on it too. If it was bad for anons I would be arguing against the idea all the time trying to convince them that it was too dangerous, not helpful, or just bad form that would be damaging to them or to those around them. It would be out of actual concern for the well-being of anons, and a few posts are clearly like that. But if I thought it was going to be good for anons and therefore hated it, I'd just start saying anything I thought would work towards the end of ruining participation. There is a difference between anons debating about Yang or Tarrant while throwing insults and a false consensus trying to sink an idea. There's just a different flavor to it all, and anons who have some experience with it can note the difference.

Do your imagined police departments hire toddlers to do their spying too?
>>13078314
You're actually right, that is good opsec that I go over in the Common Concerns. A Walk doesn't require online posting to do anything save for mentioning an optional general location and time to concentrate in. You don't seem to be able to distangle the difference between, "Meet in a park near yourself wearing non-obtrusive clothing," and, "Meet me at 487 Dumbfuck Lane at 3pm wearing a fedora with a swastika on it." They are completely different methods of meeting.
>>13078397
Exactly this. It seems to be an answer to most statements about, "But what about the police!? The CIA!? The GUBMENT!!" is to note that not only are the anons expressly told not to do anything illegal or obnoxious, but to do that in a subtle and almost indistinct way without even going to a hardline specified location. And even if whatever law enforcement was interested in this idea, they amount of money and coordination and effort they would have to make to maybe see a guy in a white shirt in a park on a spring day talking and walking around somewhere in the Western world is ridiculous for what non-crimes he is committing. They simply have better things to concern themselves with than crushing guys in white shirts. If the Walk idea was like a Charlettesville-type event that would serve to concentrate and unmask anons in a reliably small place, the criticism of police resources and investigators would be entirely valid. But it's nothing like that. Not in the slightest.

Are you kidding me JIDF? No one reads your bot text.

If you want to network then do so WITHOUT posting your networking places/times/plans on this website. Same goes for basing your plans off the idea ITT posted publicly for all to see.

THERE ARE PLENTY OF NETWORKING THREADS ON THIS SITE. WHO ARE YOU TO TELL WHITES THEY CANNOT NOT NETWORK

Here is the problem with you: Not realizing that OP is trying to make it vague such that it gets harder to target. He posted 6 dates every month to chose from, and said "any white-looking clothing will so" so clearly he knows that targeting will be an issue.
>>13078397
Never underestimate antifa's willingness to infiltrate though. Which is why OP need to be really specific about keeping OpSec (which he didn't).
>>13078718
The problem with you, OP, is that your ego does blind you somewhat, but the shills in this thread are much, much worse.
The problem is that #1 most people in /pol/ have autism lack social skills, in varying degrees (which is why social-related ideads are hard to implement), #2 many people in /pol/ lack OpSec such that they can't follow plans by the letter, leading to them being attacked (don't even bring up Chanology or GamerGate, that is just sad) and #3 those who have social skills, OpSec and other useful knowledge will talk in other platform than /pol/ to do their operations, this is just a >>>/meadhall/ really. The idea of the /walk/ is good in intention, but neglect such issues.

Plans for what exactly? Walking around in a t-shirt and talking about politics?
We literally have public syringe disposals and designated street-shit cleaners in my city, because there are more bums shooting up heroin and public shitters than there are cops to arrest them. For fuck's sake, when I went last weekend, every other homeless nog undressing in the public library restroom was wearing the "walk" attire, a white t-shirt and a do-rag.
Even if we're going to get targeted, frankly, it's a hell of a demoralization opportunity. Imagine actually having to spy on cleanly dressed, upstanding citizens, next to literal hordes of goblins taking dumps behind centuries old greco-roman monuments. What a clown world.
