That's exactly what I was thinking lol. Tattoos are way easier to identify than a face so the mask does nothing.
Great red haring though. Not that I ever would but I've also considered using a bald cap if I ever needed to do something illegal. They'll be looking for a bald person and I'll be here chilling with long hair.
Great red hair ring
You can wash them off, don't worry
Cover up all destinguising marks.. Like tattoos
Gee, people in the US need to be this cautious when protesting? Where I live it's totally fine to just casually show up at protests, take selfies, talk to people and whatnot.
...in the `states, police can shoot you for any or no reason: we call it at-will liberty...
It probably also depends on whether you are just holding a sign or straight up rioting.
Or holding...checks notes...

...can we add Acorn to the list? I think Acorn can go on there now, also.
No...we don't. This I'm assuming is showing someone who's idea of protesting is burning cars and businesses down.
Sounds like someone doesn't know (or care) what can happen to protestors that are protesting the "wrong things"... Like oil and gas pipelines, for example, or training centers for heightened police militarization. Or foreign policy, even, that one has been happening for generations already.
Lol if only they would protest the right way, they wouldn't have to worry about anything, right?
Also don't wear any clothing you bought from a unique Etsy store (or any store you physically visited and paid with a card).
The clothes you wear to the protest should also be bought from a thrift store that you visited without your cellphone and paid for the clothing in cash.
Otherwise, yes, your clothing purchases are tracked, and the young lady who torched a cop car during the George Floyd protests was literally found by the FBI searching Etsy purchase records for people who had bought that shirt.

Other options are facial recognition defeating clothing like this:

Or this:
EDIT:
But neither of those help when we're dealing with stuff like Gait Analysis.
For help with that, we must turn to the Ministry...
What's the zigzag arrow symbol?
Squatters Symbol
i am unsure. the flash and circle is a fascist symble, but that usually doesnt have the arrow head. i assume its an antifascist symble but couldnt find anything about that.
Okupas ( Spanish for squatters )
sadly, masking yourself when protesting is forbidden here in my country :c
It kinda makes sense, protests are supposed to be peaceful, why bring a mask if your intent is a peaceful protest?
There have been events where nazis show up to counter protest and film/photograph you to then share among themselves so they can attack you later.
Thats happening a lot lately in Germany. At every fucking Antifa protest at least one suspicious looking guy films with his handy. I honestly doubt, that they have the necessary skill and contact with other fascists in other cities to identify everybody, but I still don‘t want them to know my face
Why shouldn't you bring your phone?
Edit for y'all who thought I don't know what cell triangulation and gps tracking are: If you're involved in protesting to the extent that you might be actively tracked, you should have the proper precautions in place on your phone that make it untraceable even when you're carrying it with you.
Edit 2: "Proper precautions" includes using GrapheneOS with 2 SIMs. Only use one of those SIMs at protests and make sure to never use them at the same time. If the government is tracking you past that point, why do you even have a phone in the first place?
Because it can place you at the location of the protest while it happens. Not very good for anonymity.
Not if you use good opsec and turn on airplane mode.
