So what happens if people start dressing up like press and doing protester shit? Well, the feds will use it to justify the shit they're doing anyway and we'll lose all that good PR Also, it will piss off the press and this will result in worse coverage. It just will
Some seem to see the protests as a physical battle. Wrong. It's a battle for public opinion. You want abolition? The people have to support abolition. Protests are effective in exact ratio to how much they persuade So don't impersonate press. Fucking do not. Please and thank you
OK, this is an excellent argument. I withdrawal all yucks about it.
Why not both? The civil rights movement of the 60s never had majority public opinion, but still made great gains. (Agree w you main point btw. But just not that change comes primarily/only from convincing people it's right.)
I agree that it doesn't take a majority, and I don't think all protests should be engineered to appeal to majority sensibilities. But I do think some buy-in is required, whether it's "hey they have a point" or government officials saying " fine give them what they want"
What is the difference between press and not press? If I have a blog, am I press?
