    I was actually a big organizer in my community last year and had to step away because my wife and I were getting doxxed from MAGA idiots, but I agree with the first comment.

    At least in my city, no planning other then planning the next protest is all they do. People ask to help and really they just want to help very little so they feel useful. Which usually is “I can buy more poster boards next time for others” and “I’ll help set up the sign up sheets for next protest.”

    I tried organizing strikes but people wouldn’t show up if it wasn’t convenient for them. Most people want it to go back to how it was, few want it to completely change. I’m going to partake in the national strike, but fuck the No Kings protest. It’s become a festival for those wanting to not be unconvinced with real civil disobedience.

    Could be a person not living in the USA, Max.

    Us foreigners also have opinions on what’s happening in the US, because it affects us too, but we have no way to affect change in the US, other than our boycotts.

      Just a suggestion, but becoming armed before becoming violent might be a better order of progression.

    Note that the person criticising the original is also not active in organising a general strike. It is permissable to hold opinions without being obliged to act on them.

      Yes. But the moment you release your opinion out on the wild, we’re allowed to ridicule you for them.

        Of course you can. I’m just saying that the criticism is stupid in this case. I mean, I think that fusion power would be a good thing, but fuck me for not working 24 hours a day on a PhD in nuclear physics.
