What you do not do is drag people into the streets banging pots. It’s not the 1960s
Are you sure? I’m pretty confident that’s what happened on the weekend.
Also, relying on technology owned and controlled by the billionaire class is a bit rich…
Anyway, I don’t want to antagonise you. Just don’t discount the traditional methods of communication thinking it’s ineffective. In a world where privacy is almost non-existent and you’re constantly being monitored, going analogue is one of the best tactics there is.

My point is it isn’t effective. What is the result as of today, tomorrow, a week from now. What has it accomplished. What will it accomplish. And as I said, if the goal is to spread awareness about an issue than let’s measure this against another method like shit posting. Which was my point about governments and think tanks who get paid to spread awareness. These groups are not doing protest, they create engagement online and in media. There’s a reason for it.

Why? What will happen. How is that any different than relying on the city, the state and the government to not just beat your head in and arrest anything. If anything protests seem to benefit the other side when the other side are authoritarian. It lets them see who the leaders are and knee cap them.

I am an antagonist but not trying to troll. I just don’t see value in protests as they exist today. I think protests are a solved game. I believe police and authorities have such an upper hand that they prefer people to protest. The authorities ability to organize, coordinate and apply force is greater than the protestors. It’s a wasted effort on my books. The risk to reward is unbalanced and we need to adapt to modern times.
