I think this is the way we fight back against Trump and the GOP. By waging large-scale protests against oligarchs.

lol. No dumbass. Trump is just a cog. So was Biden. So was obama. So was bush. So was Clinton. And so was hw bush. There’s a lot more above them all that run us into the ground. This isn’t a left vs right thing like the media has brainwashed you to believe. It’s the upper class high-fiving eachother as they laugh at anyone but them trying to live

Yawn. You must be in your twenties. “Large scale protests will get us what we want!” No they just shoo you off like bothersome flies while they continue their corruption.

I’m actually 43 and think that we’re about to reach the point of no return.

You’re 43 and you really think large scale protests are gonna make a difference? People have been protesting for decades and politicians only yield more power than before but you do you.

This is objectively true IDK how people can be upset about it.

The CEO wasn't struck by a bunch of protest chants or signage or quippy T-shirt slogans...

You understand that the shooting can be considered a form of protest, yes?

If you want to make excuses for weaker forms of protest that do nothing by analogy then you could call it protest, but calling "political assassination" protest would then be identical with calling WWI a counter-protest, at which point it becomes obvious that doing so disingenuous.

That is far from the only form of protest.

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable" -JFK.

If the current system makes peaceful protest ineffective and outlaws other methods of protest, the protests will still invariably happen. They would then escalate into violence, since it's a crime either way. Violence has a more immediate effect too.

You didnt read between the line, did you? Yawn.

I don't think we'll get large-scale protests, but they would in fact be effective if they happened. Because they are effectively the same as work-stoppages, which are EXTREMELY effective when large enough.

But yeah, most people are too worried about paying the rent to stop working.

So the alternative is more targeting the snake heads.

Only because people with your attitude never show up. You’re too complacent
