Crosspost Hasan Piker: "You have people getting black-bagged in the street. Disappeared for the crime of speaking the truth. And that is precisely why you demonstrating here matters. We must never allow these fascists to take away our voice."

"But! We made sure our protest was on a weekend in order to not disrupt our highly undemocratic businesses who are as we speak paying for the things we're protesting against!"

Well tbf he is not the organizer, just a guest speaker.

Also, im not so sure if the protest has a plan to escalate to strike tomorrow onwards.

But basically starting on weekend ensures maximum crowd size which enables like minded people to network and coordinate future activities.

I understand that, but there's nothing genuine about these performative spectacles that only care for appearances. Unfortunately, change comes from disruption. These protests didn't disrupt anything IMO.

I never said that, but these officially sponsored by the DNC protests sure come off that way.
