I’ve got to a couple protests but they feel like they’re just for show. They’re not disruptive. They’re not making clear, actionable, demands. They’re better than nothing. i saw people handling out flyers so maybe some people went to more meetings.
But I feel like there needs to be more specific stuff. Like, a demand that musk be removed from government, or trump be removed via the 14th amendment, or whatever, and that needs to be backed by “if you don’t listen to us, then you don’t get any more labor”. (Violence, I’m told, is less effective, but can also be there in the subtext)
But actually organizing large things is hard, especially when the state and the money are opposing you.
I can’t even get my friends to suffer the mild inconvenience of getting off facebook, nevermind getting off the couch.
I agree with you. More needs to be done. If I had a higher income and sustainability, I’d be getting ready to be one of the candidates for the next local election, but for now, I’m just doing what I believe is right, so I have no regrets. Change will happen. Whether or not I’ll see it in my lifetime, I don’t know. All I’ll know is that I did everything I could to start that change and pass it on. They may have the finances, but they can’t overturn the masses when we all unite.

I thought the 50501 was to build up numbers and momentum for organization, but honestly don’t think they’re gonna do anymore than monthly protests.
