      Yes. When all the farmers and workers block all the highways until the legislature listens, the people win. The US will never grow up enough to be able to do the people are too far spread out. It allows the police and other right-wing movers to crush things while people like you go “DURR look at them libruls”.

        This is not the only way and often it is less efficient way. Consider January 6, for example. Trump movement would be much better off it was just non-disruptive peaceful protest.

          lol don’t do false equivalency. Demanding rights for the people is not the same as overthrowing a democracy

            The goals are different, but the methods are the same as you advocate. I argue that one method is more acceptable than the other. Don’t be a hypocrite by saying that it is OK to disturb if you support the goal.

          Trump movement would be much better off if it were based in reality instead of delusions.

      It is. I’m sure you want protests so peaceful that you would never even notice they’re happening, therefore you’d never understand their cause, therefore never happening, therefore changing nothing.

      That’s what you want: No change. Ever. Especially if you’re ‘disruptive’ about it.

          @WeirdGoesPro
          If you mean the one I mentionned no. I’m on pleroma and like mastodon, you have to tag someone so he/she can read the answer. In “big” thread like there are often on kbin/lemmy, the answer should be readable for everyone who participate in it, hence multiple tags. (I don’t have the habit to remove them)

                  There’s a building on top of a hill in San Francisco with no name or signs. It’s a big building in an expensive area and it’s aged. Town cars pull up and suited individuals step out and enter. I’ve always wanted to see inside.
