    The protests are good ways of meeting like-minded people in your community to form connections, spreading awareness of local mutual aid groups so more can join, or form ICE resistance groups who can join an encrypted chat to coordinate, alert neighbors, and talk strategy. It also is a good place for unions or union members to encourage others to unionize their workplaces, which can also ultimately work toward a national general strike.

    They also are useful for people to see that many of their neighbors oppose the regime, which can give more confidence to gradually become more radical, and to not be afraid to resist, which was a significant issue in Germany during the rise of the Nazi party.

    Just because the protests aren’t perfect doesn’t mean they aren’t useful to our cause overall, and being purely negative about them probably isn’t very useful.

    These are peaceful rallies steered by liberal groups. Those thousands of protestors aren’t exactly militant, they didn’t show up for that. If any radical action actually happened those people will leave and never show up again.

      they’re such an overwhelming majority that i think it makes it clear that this country is locked into a track that will only allow either soviet union style economic disaster or climate change to be the only things to force americans to wake up.
