The Subtle Genius of ‘No Kings’ - SLRPNK

Lemmy

As a person who is attended many rallies, protests, etc., over the last 30 years or so, this New King’s protest was among the most goofy and silly. And for a reason: for all of the Nazi haters trying to denounce our movement, we showed up, and did a massive number, and we’re just a bunch of goofy, silly, people who love America and want it to get back to the days where America loves us back.
Yes! This! It was a bunch of goofy, silly people that defeated Hitler and the Nazis too!

And the foxiest, newsiest assholes could not possibly characterize 7 million goofy silly people as “dangerous, enter American, hummus-living antifa“

Because we were also lovely and silly and wonderful. Never, in history of all protests anywhere ever, have 7 million people come together in a common cause without getting arrested.

Until Saturday

So, let those dick weeds call us “violent” let them call us “crazy terrorists”. There is now mountains of evidence that the reality is quite the opposite. Calling those assholes “liars” has just become much much easier.

So that was the goal? To show them how harmless we are?

I’m still trying to make sense of what was accomplished if anything.

Amazon sold a lot of frog suits I guess.

There’s a difference between symbolic protesting and concrete protesting.
