    Nobody but you is saying “just give up” you’re mischarachterizing others by adding that on there.

    Protests can work, but they work via disobedience, inflicting other harms to those with power and (most importantly) threatening violence if things do not change. Anything that doesn’t do all 3 of those things isn’t a protest, it’s a parade.

    Parades can build community, but pretending parades are inherently some sort of engine of social progress is insane.

      Yeah, we need a place to organize for the real stuff. Unfortunately they keep censoring things that “incite violence against property or encourage illegal activity” like sit-ins or sabotage. You aren’t going to win by playing by their rules. They keep making executive orders, and disappearing people, and nothing is being done to actually stop it.
