If I exercise today, what will I accomplish? Will I be different tomorrow? Of course the answer is that I won’t accomplish much, and I probably won’t be noticebly different tomorrow; nobody increases their bench press 25lb after a single workout.
The point is not the results of a single workout, because what is significant is not the effect of a single workout or protest or any other long-term effort you want to examine, it is the cumulative effect of continued work toward a common goal.
The Powell Memoradum was written in 1971. The Heritage foundation began developing project 2025 in early 2022. These are efforts that have been in development for decades and years, respectively with many people working very patiently to see them implemented.
Of course a single protest isn’t going to do anything to undo decades of well-orchestrated political and economic changes. If people want to see this changed they can’t stop with a single protest. Just like making a new years resolution to go to the gym once isn’t going to undo years of neglect to change someone’s physical fitness, going to a protest once isn’t going to undo the years of damage to the U.S. Government.
A protest on a weekend every couple of months oh no what we’ll they do. It’s pointless and not doing anything you have to disrupt the system for people to care not work within its confines. Look at how France protested.
Mass networking and marketing for direct action groups that will be better poised to accomplish something with increased numbers? This is such a dumb take.
I see, but that was said after the last protest. And it still took about 4 months to do it again.
When do you think the next protest will be? Will it even be this year?
Listen, I applaud this protest in its essence. Honestly, I do, but they need to be done more frequently. 3 protests a year will do nothing against the obese imbecile, he literally just rode out the paedo Epstein list accusations, and is an adjudged rapist.
Once every 4 months isn’t going to cut it, there’s too much time in-between for people to forget. Once a month isn’t great, but will cause ongoing damage. You’ve got to admit that more needs to be done, surely…
Populations have inertia, it takes time to shift millions of people. These protests started centuries ago. They’re happening more frequently, on a larger scale. That’s undeniable progress.
Protests take time to coordinate and build interest. If you have them too frequently then people don’t show up as much, and the crowds get smaller, and then they’re just this thing that’s happening. A little time between let’s the anticipation build up and then it becomes an event.
This is a perfectly fine frequency for trying to coordinate millions of people. Yelling about how we need to rush it isn’t going to make it go any faster.
Centuries ago come on what BS. And it’s not going to build up it’s just a vent so people can feel good about doing something. But it’s pointless.
Why does it take long for Americans look at yellow shirt protest in France if they would have taken as long their retirement age would have been increased.
It’s an extension of the workers rights movement from a century ago, which was an extension of the liberation movement from a century and a half before that, which was an extension of the Magna Carta centuries before that.
This isn’t a new threat, it isn’t a new movement. It’s simply the newest battle in a long war between the people and those who exploit them.
If I were in fear of ICE every day I might not mind seeing some millions of people giving the finger to tyranny—any thoughts on that? Moral support, which obviously doesn’t instantaneously rewrite laws or instantly increase equity or anything, I know
It will silence people into complicity. Will make as much difference as the Woman’s March. So while the people at that protest tell people to speak out, will quickly turn around and silence anyone that speaks against it. I completely agree with every point the protest make, but know that not a damn thing will change, like it wasn’t the previous eleventeen times.
And what did it accomplish? What will be different tomorrow? You’d think with millions of people on the street, something would be accomplished

I guess the first accomplishment was to upset frauds like you.

Go away, you are unwanted in this conversation.

Ignore the doomer above folks, keep the numbers rising.

Sounds like something a republican would say
White liberals always start sounding like MAGA when you tell them that their good intentions don’t actually do anything
Your entire comment history is shitting on people for protesting. What a fucking ghoul.
Protest away but it’s not going to do anything one Saturday every couple of months.
Nothing.
