    I’m not saying we shouldn’t do more, but there are plenty of ongoing protests. Just because you don’t see them in the news everyday didn’t mean they aren’t happening. Minneapolis, Portland, LA, DC and more all have protests that have been more or less ongoing since the shit hit the fan in their respective areas. The difference between this country and Franve can’t be understated im terms of geographic size and population density. It is MUCH harder to sustain protests when we’re all so spread out compared to am entire country the size of Texas.




  • Yeah all that is kind of a moot point anyway when there’s 15 flock cameras tracking you all the way from home to protest location.

    But i also think it depends on the aims of a protest. If it’s to gather a large crowd and march/chant/just be a presence I don’t think worrying about being identified is with too much since like you said it’s kind of the point. If there goal is a little more subsersive I can see taking those precautions. I’ve recently read in to a bit of the Hong Kong protests and one of the things they did that was effective was to constantly group up and erect barricades etc and then sort of disband and meet up elsewhere. So the sort of “good trouble” that people might feel the need to cause in the near future as things progress could definitely require a bit more OpSec.
