• i didn’t dig through the whole site, but does anyone see a link to download the entire dataset for mirroring when this is inevitably taken down like the last gestapo list that was scraped from linked in and posted online?

    Website seemed cool, this snippit makes me concerned though: “If we all just get out and vote yell at nothing on the street, everything will change drastically for the better. Go check out these ops.”

      Yeah if 3.5% of the populace of the United States like, occupied all the airports and demanded something to happen because of that before they went home then yes, you’ll see a lot of change. 3.5% marches on a police approved route through major metro areas and then go home? That’s just a parade.

      fucking lib-brained theory of protests, protest worked because they implied strikes as a next step, marching is no different from parade, probably increases uber eats revenues. if 3.5 population mentioned would be in manufacturing say, they would drop usa output by 30%, 3.5% ngo workers won’t be noticed at all.

      other theory of protests includes, of course, cia funded donkey with gold and/or foreign military strikes, which seems even unlikelier.

        Libs think getting the permit, promising to only be in the streets for a couple hours, and cosplaying their favorite dystopian tv show for a few pictures means the protest was successful, and that’s all you can do!

          Hey now you can also write to your representative! I’m sure they or their interns are taking the time to read your letter and not tossing it in the trash along with the thousands of other letters they get every day

        Yeah true, this is admittedly a vibez analysis, I don’t know much about the people behind the ‘Crustian Daily’. I think I’m too hard on the libs sometime, it wouldn’t be bad for there to be mass protests, I just hope people continue and translate that into material action. My fear is that this 50501 group seems to be co-opted by some sort of dems/libs to purposely redirect revolutionary potential.

          Orgs with a more revolutionary orientation need to show up and recruit. That’s what happens in my city. PSL, DSA, CPUSA, and others are all tabling and canvassing at these marches.

          Edit: inb4 “CPUSA/DSA are not revolutionary” cause that’s not the point. If you want to beat these orgs out too, show up and do a better job harnessing revolutionary energy than they do.

          Protests are good for awareness but the problem is that liberal thought typically ceases there. The website itself is more useful action on this than the protests, but since the website is made and actively compiling, protests are basically just a small boost. That said, proper organizing with a socialist org is probably the most useful thing, but this holds appeal in lib circles as well so it crosses typical political boundaries.

      Took me a while to realize you have to scroll to the bottom to see things by state. Not sure why it wasn’t organized by state, then broken down into the other categories, but it’s still neat.

      Thank you for posting that! I didn’t think to in the moment because it’s in the article but I should have in retrospect.
