(4,992 posts)Parades make people feel good and they entertain the ruling class but they dont inconvenience them in any way let alone scare them.
The only thing that gets their attention is fucking with their money. Hitting them where it hurts.
And that requires a hell of a lot more than dancing in costumes and carrying signs.
Were just not ready for real protests. Were not ready for revolution. People have to be desperate in order to spring the kind of resistance we need to overcome fascism. Americans arent willing to sacrifice their Netflix subscription let alone ration food to sustain the kind of strikes and civil disobedience we need.
Its unfortunate because we should be doing this while there is food and supplies to be had. But no one really wants to do it. They just want want to complain.
Eventually that time will come.
