    Americans have been picnicking at unprecedented scale.

    I saw a thread about it where someone asked “Ok, but what are our demands this time? All this turnout is useless if we don’t do anything with it”.

    The answer given? Vote.

    … That was all. …

      People are getting tear gassed, pepper sprayed, beaten, shot, etc., how is that a picnic exactly? You lose an eye picnicking? Pretty hardcore picnics over here in the states…

        The comment was on the fecklessness of the ‘resistance’, not downplaying the brutality of the established order.

        Americans have been taught “the right way” to resist by their class enemies. At this rate they’ll frog-costume-dance all the way into the camps holding hands and chanting “this is the way”.
