I have attended protests and will do so again, but I have no illusions that the fascists will simply ignore them. This may build up more frustration from people, but the sooner we can plan a general strike the better. The nazi ticks are just burrowing deeper.
What we need is for someone to openly share addresses of the billionaires homes and start protesting there. That’s the only way we can negatively effect them. Make them scared to be comfortable in their own homes.
The protests by themselves are certainly inadequate, despite the impressive turnout. What makes the difference is what we do with them. Last time I went out, I distributed statements, made contacts and even received some donations. People are seeking out fighting perspectives. They need organization and leadership.
It sounds to me like your solution is violence, but that’s actually a bad idea. Of course I can’t actually argue for or against this “idea” you totally have, because you haven’t stated it.
Although when you come out swinging with insults right out of the gate, it kinda reveals a lot.
Look around, how many people here start a conversation by insulting other users? If you actually took a tally, counted them up, you’d see it’s fairly uncommon.
No, we are not all assholes.
And that’s the kind of community I want out of Lemmy.

It’s an hour long protest. What does anyone think that will accomplish. The “tree huggers” chain themselves to things ffs.
If you complain something won’t do anything, then you must propose a better thing or the only thing you want is apathy.
Was “chaining themselves to trees” not clear?
He literally gave an example of a more committed response. We’re lazy
Then chain yourself to a tree.
That’s such a bad interpretation. They need your support to chain themselves to a tree.
Try something like this, and Im serious:
-if you tie yourself to a tree I will tie myself to a tree
-I cant tie myself to a tree because I have legitimate health condition but I will check in on you and share your progress with all my friends
-I totally support you tieing yourself to a tree. I want to see this happen and I admire anyone who would go that far.
Shaming them will only make them bitter… now maybe that is what you want.
Here’s how things will go: See those starving women and children in Gaza? This is what will happen to Americans, and much of the world.
Their own leadership thinks they are redundant, and no longer have to hide their sheer malevolance.
Shit don’t suggest organizing. That’s insanity.
I do, and it gets moderated and I get banned. You know this. Don’t be a cunt.
Oh no, not moderated! Sounds like you are ready and willing to actually do something, as long as it doesn’t come with the mildest of inconveniences.
Sounds like you love everything that’s going on.

What does it reveal?
I mean, that you’re a bit of an asshole.
But aren’t we all?
