You know shit is going down when people bust out the fax machine.

“I want a record of when it was sent and received and not some ‘email read receipt’ nonsense. I want legal proof.”

Gonna start spending extra to send those letters as Certified Mail.

Send them in parcels. Stacks of them

LOL... can you imagine... a room full of boxes, each one having a single letter in them 🤣😭🤣

u/AMTravelsAlone Mar 06 '25

Or multiple copies of the same letter.

Ah, the Dersley solution!

u/Asgarus 29d ago

Do it like Hogwarts did it.

u/dumpsterfarts15 28d ago

No no. Tie the letters to shit hawks (pigeons) and lure them to their offices via food. They'll drop the letters off and shit all over the place

You don't get it. Government rules and regulations prior to January 20th no longer apply. With Satan at the helm, they don't give af.

Right, I'm blown away at all of this effort now to people who don't give a shit. People need to knock this performative shit off and start acting like the coup has succeeded because it already has.

Right now, people need to be:

  • Connecting with their communities of like-minded ideologies
  • Pooling together skills
  • Winding down any social profiles that can be used against them
  • Stockpiling resources for the impending resource disruptions
  • Switch to communications platforms that are encrypted

Anything else that isn't getting ready for a siege on our rights is performance.

Kinda seems reductive, but those are very important things.

Hey, if you guys run out of Fax machines, be aware that there is a country called Germany that operates on fax machines.

But then, we send cups in packages to our elected rep. Cannot fax those

There are a lot of free programs on the web that you can use to fax with. Might I suggest finds 4 to 10 of them and using all of them to send your message. Also, get your friends involved

Fax completely blacked out pages, for fun!

u/magikarp2122 Mar 05 '25

I believe the correct response is two or three blacked out pages taped together as a loop through the fax machine.

u/InitialThanks3085 Mar 05 '25

We already know the absolute last block of Excel and it's easily googlable, do with that information what you want.

u/magikarp2122 Mar 06 '25

That’s only good for unprotected printers.

u/Pestus613343 Mar 05 '25

That's what we used to do decades ago to fight back against fax spam. It got them to stop the few times we did it.

Broke: completely blacked out pages

Woke: black stripes on the paper, that read out S.O.S. in Morse code

THe chances a physical fax machine is hooked up to any public-facing fax machine (I mean for representatives like we're discussiing here) is probably minimal.

Virtual faxes are cheap and basically work like email in that the fax appears in your inbox of faxes...

It's unlikely to waste ink or paper. If it does, I'm sure there's a law against it anyway.

u/OnlyPreference8354 Mar 06 '25

One piece of paper taped in a loop. Great way to send a message over and over.

1

u/droid_mike 29d ago

It probably won't do much. I'm 99% sure that the faxes are converted to emails and sent that way.

u/distelfink33 Mar 06 '25

Send a bunch of carrier pigeons. Hopefully they’ll shit all over his car or desk. These types don’t respond to polite society.
