Mobilization is not organization. Those in power already know the people are dissatisfied. They dont care. None of us are doing enough to make it their problem. We do not have the spaces to organize the kinds of actions that would be effective. Even this platform is not safe enough to talk about what needs to be done. It is too late. They won.
Sure, but cells of disruptive activists are not the foundations of a nationally effective movement. You need a way for normies to show up and help. And placating their activist impulses with a demonstration of discontent while not also offering real channels for affecting change is a way of castrating collective action. That’s my two cents, at least.
The resistance has many fronts… I’m not sure what you are missing. The last #NOKINGS protest was the largest protest in American history. I personally was there in my city. You pick the type of person and they were there. Old, young, conservative, religious, whatever, I met all kinds of folks from all walks of life. That’s what this is all about.

There are ways to evade them. There is more happening than you see in the media.
