    ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs‏ @MorlockP Feb 17

    1/ every time the right / populists / etc try to organize, they get infilitrated by glowies, lefties, etc ...and the Canadian truck protest seems to be a very big exception. Why? My thought: expensive signalling. Anyone can show at a righty market w a sign, blend in, subvert

        2/ ...but at a truck protest, lefties and glowies aren't going to just pop in driving a $150,000 Freightliner or Peterbilt. Even if they could borrow the truck, they're not going to know how to drive it.

        4/ "BYOB truck" is a really insanely modest signalling cost...and yet it's enough to make a difference between "yet another Charlie Foxtrot" and something more.

        The boat parades were some (accidental?) genius, if you ask me. Not only are they FUN to participate in and highly visible, but how you gonna disrupt them? Swim out out there with a sign? But by same token they don't cause much disruption so not really good as 'protest' method.

        6/ One mode of analysis of which protests work and which do not is "what SPECIFICALLY did group X, that succeeded, do?" Follow this re some lefty stuff and you learn the secret is: * start in 1974 * use radical left wing nuns * get Noam Chomsky to join you * use mimeograph

        8/ Would it have been better for the right to organize in 1992? sure Would it be better if righties were characterologically what they are not - joiners, organizers, content w slow marches through institutions? sure

        10/ ...so a first level analysis of "first we protest the Vietnam War, then we exchange phone numbers,..." isn't going to be ideal. Saying "but it WORKED, and righties are retarded for not doing it"...I dunno, man. (a) I'm not convinced it would work for us, here, now

        11/ (b) even if it MIGHT work, apparently the message isn't landing. ...but righties ARE, it seems, eager to do a few things: - get in boats - get in trucks - talk online - donate

        12/ Saying that righties should abandon this and do what they don't want to do / what doesn't come naturally seems like a less than useful starting point. "Hey obese person, have you thought about joining a public exercise group" vs "you already like vidya - how about DDR?"
