Bro you’re the one claiming I was wrong, I didn’t make this into a whole back and forth, you did.
The technically correct joke is when someone comes in and nit picks something, exactly what you’re doing.
I do not see how the protests have actually accomplished anything over the past two decades I’ve been paying attention.
The protests against the war in the middle east, we didn’t pull out until Biden
Occupy Wallstreet, literally nothing happened
Black Lives Matter, literally nothing happened
First trump admin lots of protests, literally nothing happened
Defund the police, hey it’s like they have more money now somehow
All the trump 2 protests, what has actually been accomplished?
I do think protests can work, but these are all too disjointed with no real end goal in sight and I find it mighty suspicious when some of them are funded by billionaires yes.
The same billionaires who happily keep us fighting amongst ourselves while they loot the treasury and slide us further toward facism.
What we need is an actual movement united in a common goal and working in lock step, something the proud boys et all figured out on the right years ago and clearly actually worked for them

Well at least we agree on this.
I often feel like the protests are performative, and never move onto the next steps of “we’re withholding our labor until things improve” or what have you.
This is one of the reasons I am so angry with the dnc, the ones who ostensibly should be harnessing the clear energy that exists for good instead just does fuck all and then when the next election comes around holds it over our heads like “we’ll seriously do it this time guys for real”
Protests, to me, show there is energy there to be harnessed, the protest itself isn’t going to solve anything.
