Jesus loving Christ. My city was out getting the gently caress beaten out of them by cops for like three months, took a break to do aid work for the fires, and is back to getting the gently caress beaten them out of the cops tonight because the smoke finally died down. Please, though, bring out the pink hats, that’ll be a game changer just like it was last time you went out in the streets four years ago. gently caress.

Imagine the pinkhats and BLM running into each other on the street.

That’s basically what the wall of moms was and oh boy that was fun for like a week

Did the pink hats represent any sort of coherent message? I'm not sure there was much to those protests beyond "Girl Power!!", which is how they ended up with an infestation of TERFs.

I mean, I (a white British person) find it easy to see what BLM is protesting about and broadly what they hope to achieve ("stop killing black people"), but what were those Women's Marches really for beyond "look at me, I don't think much of this new president"? Perhaps I have just forgotten. I suppose the MeToo thing was part of it, but you see how so many of those people have dropped that cause like a bag of hot poo poo now that everyone is expected to make Senator Hairsniff the next president.

No, I was down there at the march where I am, and you've pretty much got it. The general theme was "trump won't be good for women," which made sense and still does, but the best thing I can say about the marchers was that it was cool that a lot of them made their own hats. It was a weird mishmash of ideas, people were walking around thanking cops, I heard "girls just wanna have fun" more than once from boomboxes and I think I saw it on some signs, it was just exactly what you would expect from a bunch of Portland liberals who had never seen fit to ever attend a protest before that exact day. Our city has a very good protest culture that goes back for ages, this was mostly people who had no idea about any of that. It was just a lot of yaaaaaas, nothing more substantial than that.
