      An effective protest reaches the hearts and minds of people who can actually have an impact.

      Protesting in L.A. does neither of those things.

        I’m 100% disinterested in your opinion of what you consider a valid protest.

        What you or I consider a valid protest is irrelevant unless we organized it.

            Since you seem to lack reading comprehension.

            I’m 100% disinterested in your opinion

            I’m not interested in the opinions of reactionaries masquerading or deluding themselves into thinking they are revolutionaries.

              Well you chose to be in a thread literally about reactionaries masquerading or deluding themselves into thinking they are revolutionaries…

            Freeway shutdowns are one of the only actually effective nonviolent protests available to modern civilians, as they disrupt industry. Also these people consciously risked jail time to stand up for victims of genocide. Calling them performative… Fuck you.

        A more idiotic and ahistoric statement is rarely uttered
