yeah I agree with doing this and fuck anyone else that has an issue with it. also you’re free to express better courses of action
To my understanding, eesearch has generally found that peaceful protest also works, generally in achieving different ends. You know what else works? All maner of other forms of political organizing. Its what got mamdani elected.
No need to present protest as ineffective, it’s a great way to get your foot in the door, start getting comfortable with these things, connect with other people, and attend to your mental health by building solidarity and feeling engaged with the issues you care about.
Whatever gets you offline and taking action is a good thing. Start with a protest. Start with going to a local meeting for a political org. Start with joining your local ICE watch.
The important thing is that you get offline and get involved with other people. Start.

One single paper based made this argument, and like a brainworm, it took over the narrative.
tldr: Go to target. Buy salt (or something very cheap, but salt melts ice). Return it.
The video mostly goes into if the act is performative or not. The thesis is primarily that protest doesn’t work, but that non-violent direct action does work. The goal is to gum up the works.
this is what im gonna say about protest. talk to protesters. view it as a god damn meet and greet. if you have plans share them. stop being some incel loser that wants everyone to stay home and be anti social
What do you mean protest doesn’t work!? The No Kings protest was the biggest in history and Trump is still doing what he wants!
… wait
Defeatists can take a walk.
Delusional copers can walk with them.
Have fun crying into the wind while others get actual progress done.
You plan to get “actual progress” done all by yourself, then? You feel the need to dump on people who agree with your motives and your reasons, because why? They’re not “actual progress” enough for you? They’re not pure enough for you?
How about you cheer on people who are standing up against the tyranny too? no matter how “actual progress” you think their effort isn’t. We’re talking about parents and grandparents, not frigging Che Guevara.
Protest is masturbation.
Huge protests make it known that we’re not alone. That’s an important first step, even if BeenPedo Mussolini doesn’t give a shit
Don’t let it stay at the petty demonstration level, is my point. It WILL take more than protest.
Far, far more than protest.
