  • Imagine living in a fantasy world thinking that oligarchs will see a crowd of protestors and go “Oh jeez, maybe they have a point, it’s time to start listening!” Americans think “change” happens from cinematic marches and idols making great speeches, or giving a can of Pepsi to a cop. I’m not against crowds of protestors gathering peacefully, but why not outside the oligarchs mansions? Organizers provide coach and bus trips for protestors all over the country, they have all the means and resources to organize these crowds and yet they choose the most ineffective locations like a town hall where people in suits can safely laugh at them on TV from home.













  • Yeah but we need to stop occupying sidewalks and start occupying gated communities. The fact that protest organizers won’t do this says everything you need to know about them - they prefer passive action that does nothing but maintain the status quo. I’ve been to over 100 protests everything from workers strikes to BLM to Occupy Wall St, and i’ve learned that occupying a sidewalk that the oligarchs don’t walk on does nothing but make the cause look pathetic. We need to protest where the oligarchs will be afraid, anything less is just playing into their hands.
