"what should I say to people" is not a useful question when whatever you say and whatever they say will still be rendered as "concerned families protest sex-crazed outsiders" at a level of discourse you have zero control over and that is actively being leveraged on behalf of the enemy.

So all slogans are currently useless on a strategic level? [therefore we should never discuss them on a strategic level also?].

imo, the only useful questions here are (a) how do you disrupt that transmission from small fascist demo to mass media-produced moral panic (b) how do you organise/bring out the people who have clocked that this *is* fascism on the march.

How about (c) recognising that it's holding the space, thus preventing the fash from having a clear go at their targets and (d) in the event of mass right wing mobilisations (which most of these aren't), what slogans are best to put a wedge in their org?

I think a) is getting the direction wrong. The small fascist demo isn't the cause of the mass media moral panic, it's the result of it. The good thing is that so far this is the best the upper class fash can produce, the bad thing is that they won't stop trying.

symbiotic relationship maybe? Think the small fascist bloc exists irrespective of what's going on in the mass media and is definitely useful for accelerating things

The fash exist but they take all their cues from the daily mail. When they're looking for the thing to be outraged about, it's on the front page for them.
