You stand in a designated area, usually facing some empty government building or symbol of state power, while speakers from participating groups recite some speeches. There is intermittant clapping, and sometimes some people take up a chant or two. You're surrounded by police, who generally have armored vans lined up and down the street to take anyone beliggerant away.

It's not very effective as a means of pressure, but it can help to build morale within the protesting group.

Please clap!

THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.

looked up some reviews for the restaurant and lmao:

We ordered biscuits and gravy. The gravy was different but good. The biscuits were raw. We were able to scrape the outsides off but the rest of the biscuits weren't done at all. Raw dough. I told the waiter who said "okay" and walked off with the dishes to bring back the check. We weren't offered anything else or even a discount.

i dont think you can actually physically do bank runs anymore

like sure a bunch of people making thousands of dollars of cash withdrawals will run the local concrete block out of cash. but banks don’t care about that anymore so theyll just lol if off

now if everyone liquidated their stocks and 401ks that would be perfect

Social media mainly, but there are a lot of boomers too so also word of mouth between affinity groups or the local rural group.
