    A protest is not a fight, it’s a pressure outlet for libs. The real fight begins when more people become Luigi.

      Civil unrest starts at protests. Random individual action has its place. So does a crowd who’s ready to throw down.

      Besides, it’s a good experience for people who have not yet been personally physically active in their resistance. It’s a place to meet like minded people and build those relationships and networks which will be important later on.

      Just because a particular action doesn’t resolve every problem doesn’t mean it’s a waste of time. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

        Civil unrest being violently quashed is what leads to more civil unrest being more violently quashed leads to full on revolt. It starts small and when word spreads it can get bigger. It can also get crushed out of existence.

      No one said peaceful protest, not that I’m publicly condoning the alternative.
