Showing massive crowds in every major American city does a lot more good that anything else.
Most people are followers, and many people are Republicans simply because they are cowards, and are afraid of everything that the Conservative Propaganda Machine has screamed at them about. So they think MAGAs will protect them better than weak-willed spinless Democrats. The MAGAs are also telling them that there is very little support for Democrats, and they believe it.
But if they see massive crowds of angry Democrats, many will realize that there is a LOT of opposition to the Nazis, and it will sway many to our side.
Whose mansions are you talking about? Just protesting at some random Sociopathic Oligarch's palace isn't going to do anything, they'll never even see it. These people configure their lives so they never have to be touched by real life. They'll just spend the day on their yacht or at a different palace. If they are in town, they'll just chopper in/out at the residence, which will be behind walls and gates a quarter mile away.
Nope, flood the streets in every major city, disrupt everything, block Federal buildings, be as inconvenient as possible. That's far more effective.
If you want to piss off a Sociopathic Oligarch, then protest at their place of business. Block their entrances, interrupt the flow of business, make it difficult to do business, inconvenience their employees, irritate their neighbors, embarrass them to their neighbors, etc.
Excellent.
Cool! Thanks!
Two interesting books on this phenomenon:
Mark Penn: Microtrends, the small forces behind tomorrow's big changes
Malcolm Gladwell: The Tipping Point, How little things can make a big difference.
Both talk about how it takes a surprisingly small number of people to make big changes. The rise of MAGA is a perfect example. We need to apply the same strategies to take America back, and viciously purge MAGA from our government and nation
The moment I heard about this, I immediately asked why he was on his way to school during a serious natural disaster. Why didn't the school close? Perhaps even more importantly, why didn't his parents say "I don't care that schools are open, nobody is leaving the house today?"
That poor kid died in terror, knowing that everybody with the responsibility to keep him safe, failed him.
I live in Florida, and if a hurricane was on the way, my kid wasn't going to school, no matter what the school decided. What's the downside, he misses a day of school? No single day of school is worth dying over, even on pizza day.
Good post. Sitting protests are sometimes effective, but not always.
The most important thing about your post is that it demonstrates acknowledgement that HitlerPig WILL actively try to incite trouble from within, using agents provocateurs. We need to have a portfolio of options ready in advance to apply when the RedHats start their shenanigans.
It won't be that hard to identify the troublemakers quickly. Video is a great tool to later identify the perpetrators and their crimes, and perhaps the chance of being caught on video will force them to back off. Video is what put many J6 Traitors in prison, so they'll be aware of that.
Unfortunately, one of the first pieces of advice given to protesters is to leave your phone at home. I doubt current protesters are following that advice, but as the protests get more and more violent, they will start. If you don't bring your phone (which can be confiscated, and apps, texts, emails, etc. can be used as evidence to designate the protester as a terrorist, and deny them due process), then bring some other device for video, like a GoPro or burner phone with no apps or social media.
If you go to protests, make sure you always identify an escape route if the RedHats or Gestapo or Einsatzgruppen show up.
Yes, eventually we have to talk about what to do about it, but before we identify solutions, we have to acknowledge the problem.
The one justification anyone has about this cockamamie tariff folly is that manufacturing will come back to America, and states will be flooded with new, high-paying manufacturing jobs. That's what people believe, based on their knowledge of past manufacturing models, and the administration is letting them think that.
The media has a responsibility to ask about what this administration wants the new era of manufacturing to look like. Does anyone believe that this administration will set up the new manufacturing environment to favor the workers, or will they set it up only to maximize profits for corporations, at the expense of workers' rights, safety, and compensation? The problem right now is that nobody in the media is even ASKING that question. Until they do, most Americans won't even consider that the manufacturing model they think is coming, is only in their imaginations.
Before we start throwing out solutions to questions that nobody is asking, lets focus on the right questions first.
He's just salty because he knows that every single person in that massive crowd would cheer as the blade came down on his neck. In fact, they'd cheer louder for him, than almost any other person...except for one.
