i actually went to one of these hoping against hope that i'd find some potential co-conspirators in my dark red neck of the woods who might want to do mutual aid. it was such a let down. as expected, just a lot of liberals (and maybe a "compassionate conservative" or two) focused on trump. not a single one seemed even remotely interested in interrogating the system that put him in power. just a completely toothless action and a total waste of time. 0/0 stars.
Sure this time "awareness" campaigns will result in different outcomes.
As opposed to what actions you're doing?
At least it seems like they might be marginally more materially useful this time around in that it's not just protesting but actual coordinated attempt to aid increase voter turn out.
Whether or not they're a box or two behind by focusing on the ballot box...eh, I guess I'll continue expecting and preparing for the worst but hoping for the best I guess.
If communists protested the same way liberals do we would still have child labor, 16hr work days, 7 day work weeks, the black community would still be sitting in the back of the bus, etc.
These echo chamber parades will never accomplish anything other than keep the current systems of oppression firmly in place
Unions got into gun fights with the military to advance worker’s rights. Workers died. You’re not wrong at all.
It’s naive to think the capital class is just going to willingly hand over the reins of power.
100% agree. Protests are supposed to make someone uncomfortable. I guarantee, the GOP doesn't give 2 shits about a bunch of moms standing around with clever signs.

We must coat our bricks in the blood of tyrants.
it worked well for marsha p johnson in 1969's stonewall riots, but somehow americans still refuse to accept that pride is the celebration of a riot
NoKings? The "movement" that branded itself as NoClowns for countries that still have monarchs? The one that only does these one weekends with months between? What a fucking useless liberal joke. The only good it has had so far is agitprop but so far mostly towards DSA which does not bode much confidence.
How many people does it belong to?

All that sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Until we learn to protest with Molotovs, ropes, bats, and murderous intent we will just be playing by their rules and accomplishing nothing but moral masturbation. The remedy has a hard ingredient requirement for the blood of tyrants, it won’t do anything until that is liberally applied.
@cowbee@lemmy.ml See what I mean? Billionaires are setting up coalitions for electoralism. Not what they can do right now, to plant food, secure it, and vanguard it. No plan to demolish deathcamps, or uproot fascist resources. But vote Zionist/AIPAC, no matter the stripe.
