    Every successful political resistance includes a healthy protest movement. It is necessary.

    • stop ignoring history of social change
    • pay attention to all the other important aspects of resistance that are building momentum and being set up
    • don’t be a saboteur and plunge into pointless violence
    • apply pressure, including violence, in a disciplined and strategic manner
    • whining, whinging, and demanding bad strategy and worse tactics are a win for the opposition
    • everyone can contribute to resistance in many ways
    • a coordinated front is necessary, but also mass noncompliance and microresistance
    • get to work yourself in more constructive ways

    May I add that while the whole world is dealing with a surge in authoritarian bullshit, the particular case of the USA is going to require much more than just a shift in the political roster. The problem is deeply cultural, as evidenced by the hollywood style approach of so many armchair tacticians. Start there, and work on you and yours while also taking direct action.
