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.

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.

Never underestimate antifa's willingness to infiltrate though. Which is why OP need to be really specific about keeping OpSec (which he didn't).

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.

You strike me as an anon who is able to appreciate the idea, and I do actually want to promote good opsec so those participating don't bungle themselves up. If you would, point out specifically where I compromise opsec so I can at least consider whether that is an acceptable relaxation of a rule or not. Absolute perfect opsec will isolate you completely from everyone and therefore make networking impossible. But in a model of such diffuse meetings and the creation of a strong plausible deniability I believe some rules can be relaxed a bit to achieve the goal of meeting anons you wouldn't have met otherwise.
See, these are good criticisms, so I appreciate that. I do understand that imageboards in general select for more introverted or autistic types, and that not all anons are going to have sterling social skills. That's fine, and actually one of the reasons why a Walk is the way it is. It provides a context for anons to strike up a conversation or at least a goal to fixate on and overcome their aversion to communication. It's good exercise, like how it is good social exercise to smile at people in the grocery store or make small talk with the cashier. The Walk could help some isolated anons, of whom there are many, to meet someone who at least knows where they are coming from and offer an opportunity to connect over that. For other anons it is simply a networking opportunity to encounter people whose talents could be useful or who they would lend their own talents to.
So on the following opsec rules part, that's why I simplified the Walk formula to its barest parts. The previous thread had 7 or 8 steps to it in a somewhat confusing and verbose wall of text. I reduced it to 3 steps and made the meeting concept more secure. A Walk in my opinion doesn't require absolute perfect opsec because its diffuse and offline nature provides the main part of its protection. Even if an anon slips up offline it likely won't be to anyone who is a problem given how unappealing a target a Walk is if even you could call "it" a "target" like it was a single thing and not a highly decentralized series of possible events. Also so long as an anon can maintain his plausible deniability, he could use it as an opportunity to teach the other how to do it right if such an encounter happened. What should be done is implore anons to not compromise themselves online where there is the possibility of causing bad stuff to happen, which luckily those with good opsec experience like yourself can help with. I have no problem with writing a section about good opsec while out and about, whether on a Walk or otherwise, so if you're willing to mention your concerns and how you'd do it instead I'd be very interested.
Finally, on the skilled anons going to less-populated boards to do their activities, that may be true but part of the goal is to get anons connected with those who have skills and experience so they can improve themselves and be helpful or friendly otherwise. Most organizations are not entirely staffed with elites in their field, but rather have a few elites with many hands to amplify their ability to do things. For instance, it doesn't take massive skill to learn how to plant gardens or paint a house or go hiking, which are the sorts of local organization activities I imagine could come out of anons meeting local anons. The more experienced can teach the less, and together they can contribute towards improving their societies. Now addressing those skilled and interested who hang out in the smaller circles is an issue that I'd like to explore without going on a spamming campaign, but I do think most of them do frequent the board and might see a thread like this anyway.

What happened to the thread about the "Volunteer Community Clean-Up Crew"?
THIS is how we get around the "optics" challenge, while allowing for more open display of logos, graphics, and uniform colors that harken to our heritage, messages, and goals.
As well as creating a presence that is very welcome in any degenerating community.
Also allows for co-mingling up close with government buildings, architecture, and town infrastructure.
Combine these two ideas, and I believe this is a fucking winner to get us organized IRL.
Fuck the feds.
Fuck Antifa.
There is turmoil on the Left right now.
The time to make a showing, and put our John Hancock on the line is rapidly approaching.
Once this world actually sees how many are among our ranks, and that we're not "Crazy, racist, White, Nahtzees!", and instead a force of security, repair and sanitation, and leadership and authority, things will fall in our favor.
You can feel this world shifting toward the inevitable Truth and Natural Order again.
We'll be there to catch, and guide them.
(pic related) These degenerate Thots have GREAT marketing skills.
Can you imagine this kind of a standardized, mobile display, across the globe, with OUR colors and sigils?
