    Just because the poster doesn’t take action, doesn’t mean they are wrong.

      Also how do you know they are not taking action? Maybe they are not posting updates for the feds to screw over any work they’ve done.

      Sure, but do you see the hypocrisy in pointing one how little one form of resistance helps while participating in one that helps even less?

          No kings protests get media attention. How are your “nothing works” social media posts helping anything?

            Wow, media attention! Perhaps they are gonna run a strongly worded letter on the dashreel at the bottom edge of the screen!

            Newsflash: the media is in line, and in love, with the war.

              You’re right. Better to be a keyboard warrior on a small reddit alternative.

              Newsflash: No Kings isn’t about the war, but it’s interesting that the distraction is working on you.

              When you want public awareness of your movement it is.

            so what?

            what kind of policy change did you accomplish last time with all that media attention?

            take some criticism instead of straw manning.

              what kind of policy change did you accomplish last time with all that media attention?

              A number of substantive local policy changes as well as growing mutual aid networks as more people became aware of the movement. There is no magic wand to be waved here. It will take on the ground organizing in every city and getting that word out to grow the movement

              What kind of policy change have you brought about by being a keyboard warrior?

              Take some criticism instead of straw manning.

                What kind of policy change have you brought about

                a full day’s reduction in our workweek over here.

                enough about the strawman and deflection though, can you be specific about these local laws? what local policies have you improved with not one, but three earth shattering record breaking massive protests? what are the demands you are pushing for?
