Alt-text: Protest can be organized through social media, but nothing is real that does not end on the streets. If tyrants feel no consequences for their actions in the three-dimensional world, nothing will change.

    Why? Seriously.

    It’s probably the best way.

    Please truly explain to me why. What are you saying is the winning strategy.

      I think it really depends on who you are fighting and what you are trying to accomplish.

      Personally, I feel Congress is to blame for much of this mess. they could end all of this tomorrow. Congress doesn’t give 2 shits what I post online, so its a waste of my time to change their mind online.

      In short, pick your goal, then choose your strategy.

        I don’t really know what to say other than you’re wrong. Like on so many levels. The whole system is literally about representing people and people create demands based on culture. Culture identity and public opinion is the root here. It’s why there’s so much attention by powerful people to control it. The left is really showing how ignorant they are to basic concepts here.

          I swear to god, people like you deserve to lose your democracy.

          There’s no collection of spineless wombles quite like the American left.

      Because they’re raiding work places and dragging immigrants off to concentration camps. And you think the appropriate response is posting memes on Facebook? By the time you’ve gotten a like emoji your neighbours are already in the back of a black unmarked van.

      Communication on the internet is an important factor, but you won’t defeat fascists with a Tiktok video. That time is passed. You need to organize and gather in the streets to shut the economy down.

        Yes, are you insane. As you just said, they’re illegal disappearing people. How are you so ignorant to the idea of anonymously bringing awareness to these things. How the hell are you going to convince people to help you while you’re standing in a street in Wisconsin while a boot is on your face. You need to meet people where they are. That is online
