    Remember, we wouldn’t be seeing this much half-assed astroturfing if the No Kings protests weren’t working.

      I don’t know why people have such a hard time with the idea of a diversity of tactics.

      If you don’t think marches or whatever are effective, that’s fine. Do your own thing. But constantly shitting on what other people are doing really isn’t helpful.

          Except it’s more like “Day is booked solid with shitposting online and then complaining that nothing is going to happen”

            I respect people who go out and protest, even if it may be ultimately ineffective, a lot more than armchair political pundits who complain about protesting not working while advocating that the solution is for everyone in the nation to suddenly and simultaneously manifest radical class awareness at the expense of their own self-preservation.

      “We know it’s working if people criticize it” is a great metric to use if you want to be fucking useless

      Looks like I’m (EU) not up to date with how they’re working.
      Can you list maybe some of the concrete things it has achieved from your demands?
      Now I write this I realize, IDK what their demands are.
