The “No Kings folks” are decentralized and leaderless. The other circles and orgs and people who you say are showing up to the protests and taking names, they are the No Kings folks, just as much as everyone else who showed up to make their voices heard.
It’s kinda weird to say “the No Kings folks aren’t doing anything” when they’ve so far successfully organized three multi-million-people nationwide events. Especially when you then go on to say that your friends and other groups are showing up to the protests and doing networking there.
Do you not see the connection? The No Kings protests created that platform, without which your friends and all those groups would be missing all that outreach.
Don’t pretend other people aren’t doing work, when they’re only doing different work. Whatever activities you’re doing, it’s not the only “real” resistance. And it would be impossible to wage a collective resistance if every cell thought of themselves as the only ones doing any real work, and viewed everyone else as slackers.
