      Sorry, didn’t you see on “stormfront” how they posted pictures of signs with one-liners that land somehow between “cringe” and “bad”? You telling me that’s not making a difference?

      Wait, hold on, let me get out of the road, there’s an oversized lifted truck driven by an 80 year old with cataracts in both eyes who’s going to die in a stroke behind the wheel at some point at in the near future driving towards me.

      I wouldn’t want to impede traffic, that’s not what civil disobedience is about…

      Anyhow, where was I…?

      Yeah but I cant see any protest in the USA yesterday that had decent demands. Either purely vibes based or shit like “Hands off NATO!”.

      I’d say not always but you should interpret it in context for the situation.

      Having no demands is a criticism against many loose oppositional groups. In some ways its hard to see how they would have “a demand” because they aren’t an organization. They are a transient mass unified by sentiment.

      Its not impossible to have such an even on the road to a productive outcome. But in this case I’m very skeptical.
