The correct answer to "Why the sticker?" is "Why the fascism?"

I liked her answer because she can continue to waste their time instead of being targeted for harassment.

One time, I was smoking a cigarette in my car, outside of my house. A cop pulled up behind me and blasted their lights. They asked me a ton of questions, most of which I refused to answer. I gave them ID which had my FUCKING address, and they still said, "You ain't from around here are you?". Mother fucker, you don't even live in this zipcode. You are at MY address. It was a Pacific beach surfing sticker and a Bernie sticker. They also told me to take them off. They went off in a pout, and the deputy told me they were just training the newbie. To what, profile people?

This is an example of resistance as culture. It might be a small act but it demonstrates the point.

I think that's something that could work. Things like fashion to mess with facial recognition. Movies or tasks to mess with our algorithms. Distracting facsists with a flag. Culturally, capitalism feeds on the creativity of leftists type people and always has done. We can't feed it anti-capitalism because that just feeds it. So, we have to make fucking with the machine the culture itself and offer something they never can: warmth, community and authenticity.
