I just went down to our local lib demonstration. All I could really feel was depressed. All those people waving signs but I wonder how many are willing to do anything more than that? Shit most of them were pretty old, tbh. I approached some people I clocked as comrades but I was very awkward and we didn’t have a conversation.

I guess I don’t really have a question here. Just feel like everybody has identified (some of) the problems, but have totally misidentified the solutions. Will these protests ever accomplish anything? Can we radicalize the protestors without them having to get beaten by cops? Or is that what it will take?

    You manage to get a group of like, 20+ people like that you can actually start doing the more radical stuff.

    The problem I see with getting 20 armed radicals together is doing it without one of them being a cop. It requires a level of 21st century secrecy and discipline that I can’t even imagine, because how do you even get to that size while also being so clandestine that the State doesn’t find out before you can act? It’s not like we aren’t all already being watched.
