    You should be doing more than merely protesting.

    Our enemies get to set the context of any actions we take, so protests can be safely ignored.

    Anything that has a chance of succeessfully shifting public opinion can be defused by talking heads calling peaceful protests “lawless” and associating them with national enemies.

    Political power is measured by the capacity for violence, the number of people who would kill or die to achieve any given goal. Luigi accomplished more with three bullets than protests have achieved in this country for the last 30 years.

      Oh of course we have to be doing more. Just like the recent movements, first few steps involve protesting. Sad thing is as I’m out here protesting, I’m not seeing the other millions of people that need to speak out. We need to be heard, not be negative and give up without trying.
