      general strike happened because of the visibility of those protests. The world socialist web site was at the columbus no kings protest handing out fliers and a booth, and i’m sure there were communists around

      protests give people permission and reduce the social anxiety to speak out when they see the numbers in them. Its a lot easier to speak up at your workplace about events when theres a massive protest walking past your place of business

      protests can beget direct action and shouldn’t be criticized when they do. 50501 has been coordinating ice watches and observations that put all the cameras there when violence occurs. I know people want to open carry at these protests ever since Pretti was killed. If everyone is concealed carrying it feels like a 1v30. If everyone is open carrying it may look like a 50v30

    Planning that for March 28th is like an excuse to let tensions cool before actually doing anything. You want change? You need sustained action and you need to stroke while the irons HOT.
