@lzg I dealt mainly with ussr and sahel spring. Current government talking points remind me of those countries. I do not want to discourage peaceful protests, either.
Maybe wake up the others.
@lzg depends on the country you live in.
In USA right now, the rules seem to have changed.
@RickiTarr In many ways, the disarray is a feature, not a bug.
Would rather be in a team of quibblers than everyone following orders.
Stop using Big Tech to organize your protests! They're part of the authoritarian surveillance and oppression as well.

@Sherry On the one hand, I get your point.
On the other hand, Afghanistan is far from the only country. USA is doing all it can to ban books and subjugate women. The government is banning the word "women" from official communications ffs. Europe has toms of femicides.
Anarchists are never going to be good for organized resistance (by definition), but there is common cause with "No Gods, No masters," Elisabeth Cady Stanton
@breadandcircuses I see their statement as being the equivalent of "Atheists can not possibly contribute to theology."
I think their missing the point, makes your point.
