      I think he’s correct in stating this administration won’t care if we protest or how large it is. What we hope happens is that the protests get more momentum amongst the politically inert. That momentum could build us up to a general strike which would have more influence once the capitalists bottom line gets impacted. Maybe. IDK. This all sucks.

      I’ve been to all the 50501 protests in my area as a show of support, but I’m not trying to accomplish anything. I’m just of the opinion that protests without action accomplish nothing. I am all into exercises, some real civil disobedience.

        Our great grandparents armed themselves and took over the factory floors. We need some of that energy.

        but I’m not trying to accomplish anything

        This is the problem. Co-conspirators don’t grow on trees, and protests are for networking because online chatter is too obvious. If you’re going to protests, but not trying to accomplish anything by doing it, you’re doing it wrong.
