I'm heading to a protest this afternoon. Protests are a good thing and people who talk poo poo about people protesting racism/fascism are probably bad people. A big high-five and thanks to everyone who decides to get in the streets or organize any other activities against racism and Trump.

Pajser posted:yeah and voting sucks man, that's why nobody does it any more. Actually, you're right, it probably is better to riot than protest, unfortunately most of the unhappy democrats aren't at that point yet. When they do start losing their civil liberties maybe they'll warm up to the idea. The best way you can tell a protest is working, is when people start talking about it.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:BLM did have a detailed list of demands. Stop perpetuating lying bullshit from the white media. It just cost us an election and may cost us our lives. Also a lot of the other groups involved in these protests, Socialist Alternative, The IWW, and other groups do have agendas and platforms and demands and have a history of following through with threats and also getting what they want. The best recent example is the $15 minimum wage in Seattle. The path to victory so to speak was protests --> gather signatures for ballot measure --> more protests --> city passed a plan to get to $15 an hour because they were afraid of it going to the ballot Doorknob Slobber fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Nov 11, 2016 |

Pajser posted:and thats why every minimum wage worker should be ready to poo poo all over this hard fought right at a moments notice as soon as they see an election result they dont like. poo poo all over it by doing what was done to get it in the first place. That is making GBS threads all over it because trump might get mad at protesters and abolish the minimum wage so we should all just sit in our homes and do nothing while Trump shits all over minorities. Maybe if we're really, really quiet he will forget he promised to deport millions of Muslims who are also US citizens.

Pajser posted:as opposed to just giving him an excuse to do that even harder and with more support. laugh if you think its just four years. Someone much smarter than me once said something like "if you aren't willing to stand up for your rights and the rights of others, then you probably don't deserve them" and you're a pretty shining example of that.
