Isn't there a way we can protest using Zoom?
I agree with every word.verb_to_trust wrote:Don't insult my intelligence by talking up how everyone is wearing masks, so it will be totally fine to cram 1 million people in DC tomorrow.

being told attending a small funeral will end the world to let's just see if we can get as many people as possible into a major metro area so then the next day racial injustice will magically disappear
Fuck all of this shit. Everything about it is infuriating. The injustice, the death, the infection, the inequality....Verb
I don't know how the optics of trying to storm the fences around the whitehouse are supposed to look, but it looks like a bunch of Canadians hell bent on arson to me.verb_to_trust wrote:Don't insult my intelligence by talking up how everyone is wearing masks, so it will be totally fine to cram 1 million people in DC tomorrow.

Jeebus, my boomer dad was trying to defend the mask thing as a noble lie. I don't recall him saying that in March, so he must've gotten hyped to the marching orders more recently.verb_to_trust wrote:Given all the mixed messaging bootlickers like the surgeon general spouted out about masks early on I don't expect people putting on a massive display of civil disobedience to be obedient when it comes to mask wearing, either.
I'm with you on this verb. Our priorities are fucked up and it doesn't make sense.verb_to_trust wrote:Don't insult my intelligence by talking up how everyone is wearing masks, so it will be totally fine to cram 1 million people in DC tomorrow.

Yeah I was watching Roberts Evans' live stream from Portland last night and most had them. But then again, Portland has been gassing the crowds each night. It's also not super hot in Portland. I just don't believe people have the discipline to fully implement masking, basically.philpritchard wrote:Most of them have been in most of the videos we've seen.verb_to_trust wrote:Given all the mixed messaging bootlickers like the surgeon general spouted out about masks early on I don't expect people putting on a massive display of civil disobedience to be obedient when it comes to mask wearing, either.

I went to my local grocery store yesterday and noticed the store was no longer requiring them and a lot of shoppers didn't have them.
They're just going to brick in each other's mouths and piss on each others faces to dilute the tear gas.96583UP wrote:where will all the DC protestors go to the bathroom
The FBI has collected no intelligence indicating that "antifa" was involved in violence over the weekend related to protests over the death of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man who died on May 25 after a white police officer in Minneapolis knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes, The Nation reported.
But the FBI's report did warn that people associated with a far-right social-media group had "called for far-right provocateurs to attack federal agents" and "use automatic weapons against protesters."
...
Politico also reported on Monday that a Department of Homeland Security intelligence note warned law-enforcement officials that a white supremacist channel on the encrypted messaging app Telegram encouraged its followers to incite violence to start a race war during the protests.
Citing the FBI, it said that two days after Floyd's death, the channel "incited followers to engage in violence and start the 'boogaloo' — a term used by some violent extremists to refer to the start of a second Civil War — by shooting in a crowd."
One of the messages in the channel called for potential shooters to "frame the crowd around you" for the violence, the note said, according to Politico.
On May 29, the note said, "suspected anarchist extremists and militia extremists allegedly planned to storm and burn the Minnesota State Capitol."
NBC News also reported on Monday that Twitter had identified a group posing as an "antifa" organization calling for violence in the protests as actually being linked to the white supremacist group Identity Evropa.
Twitter suspended the account, @ANTIFA_US, after it posted a tweet that incited violence. A company spokesperson also told NBC News that the account violated Twitter's rules against platform manipulation and spam.
That's amazing. Hope they all wore masks.Mickey wrote:Philly protest today was huge. Very calm, a real mix of far-left groups like PSL and libs/Dems.
List serv? Any real white nationalist is on Discord, and they don't need the FBI to infiltrate them because left activists do it for free. And even though every single transcript is leaked, the white nationalists just keep using Discord. They are not very smart, nor very effective.96583UP wrote:prob wasnt hard for the FBI to infiltrate that white power listserv given that half the white house staff at this point is prob on it
