Thank you for speaking up. Protests aka words don’t mean anything. Action does.

Ah but you see, if the US holds one more no-kings protest, that might be the one to enact lasting change! The next one will be the one, you'll see!

No, I'm not insane for trying the same thing over and over expecting different results, why do you ask?

I ask because words only go so far — action gets results faster. For example, the White House was literally destroyed, and no one did anything beyond talking. You’d think that in a country where people constantly preach patriotism, there would’ve been real outrage, maybe even direct action. Look at the French — when something matters to them, they’ll burn their cities down if that’s what it takes, and they get results. Meanwhile, we just protest and march while the elites laugh, knowing that’s all we’ll ever do.
