@nazokiyoubinbou @GhostOnTheHalfShell I guess the image might hit a US audience harder than the tear gas story. I don’t know. I’m just a bewildered foreigner.

I mean, the whole “No Kings” thing seems odd to me, and I don’t just mean in its absence of a goal other than “protest”. Feudalism is not the problem. If DJT dies, Don Jr won’t be next. It’s the existing oligarchy that will ensure what comes next. And I’m not sure that Team Blue has an effective countermeasure to the Thiels and Ellisons, anymore than Team Red does.

Still, talk of a General Strike is good, so there is some faint hope.

The people behind the no kings protests are reasonably knowledgeable. The purpose of no kings is to build collective action. The United States doesn’t have the social organization you see in countries like France or Italy, where, especially in the former protest is sort of much more integral to the general culture than it has become here.

This is the prerequisite for being able to sustain a general strike

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @nazokiyoubinbou I like that as a reading! I hope you’re right.

I remember the days of flying pickets in the UK. I’m still waiting for my own country to catch on. I think it’s coming.

The French are very good at protest, though I think the US may need to take Nepal as a model before it’s all over.

I hope you all can get the government you, and we, all need.

Well, I hope so as well. The indivisible people at least what I’ve heard of individuals who are in the meetings, the organizing meetings and what not communicate that there’s a very deliberate method to all this.

In order to sustain the general strike, there’s a lot of communities support needed like to make sure people can feed themselves pay rent and other shit. I have no idea where anything like this is.
