Hopefully #GenX #GenY has some spare change, since #GenZ is crushed by #debt. We want a #StarTrek utopia for our #children, not a #MadMax / #TLOU lifetime crossover event.

At the Proms, a shocker they found
When two protesters rushed in with a bound
But they quickly got jeers
From the riled up peers
As their message was drowned out by the sound.

And as long as we let them.

There is no shortage of people that know what's going on. Its not enough just to know, though.

Let people in your community know you are not having it. You are not going to contribute to it. You are prepared to #withdrawYourLabour, and do, if you must.

Then work on building the alternatives while actively #protesting.

People who know but hide away and don't do anything are the worst kinds of people — in the same realm as the #perpetrators.

"If you ask a #conservative when #America was great, many would say "when it was #founded".

And if you remind them that #slavery #existed then, they'll usually try to cover their asses by saying "except for that".

But slavery is not some minor fluke. If it's #legal to #kidnap, #traffic, #torture, #rape, and #murder black #people, and if the #police actively assist in that, and if #anyone who tries to rescue the #victims goes to #jail, and if it keeps happening because the #violence of the #protesters bothers more people than the violence that they're #protesting against, then no decent #person is going to care how "great" it is otherwise. That's not something that can be overlooked.

Also, that level of violence never happens by accident. Slavery was not a fluke. Slavery happened because it was #profitable. The #system was working exactly as intended, and it still is."

Protests Don't Need To Be Civil - SOME MORE NEWS

"Hi. In today's episode, we look at the constant calls for 'civility' during any protest movement and examine why those in power always criticize protesters for not doing it 'the right way.'"

Don't think these powers can only be applied to people you don't like. There is nothing whatsoever stopping somebody from applying them to you and yours. Campaign to have cars slow down in front of a school? You're in the frame. Carrying a bike lock to lock up your bike? You too. Piss off a policeman in his civilian life? He can stop and search you whenever he likes. Or abuse any one of his other new vaguely-defined powers.

@kaia I find their actions to be wasted resources and counterproductive.

As in "Pissing off #WageWorkers on #UnpaidLabour aka. #commute certainly will convince them of something..." - stupidity.

Their actions will only be used to #criminalize any other #protesting and won't even affect the #Decisionmakers in politricks and economy to even fake to give a f**k...

And that IS the problem...

#Citizens #protesting against felling of trees are pejoratively called “ #EnvironmentalActivists ” “ #BuddhijeeviAndolanjeevi ” & worse, by a certain section of #politicians & ppl. #Transcending political ideology, state & #CentralGovernments & powerful ppl #intoxicated with #money view public #protests with undisguised hostility.

#ConflictOfInterest between #greedy #corporations & #government who benefit from #ecocide projects & #citizens suffer the adverse effects.

(James Demers is an #activist who helped with the rally. #ReadingWithRoyalty - he said, has been running for 5 years without problems.
“This is a #postCOVID impact,” suggested Demers. “These people are looking for community, they found it over COVID #protesting and we have become the target.”)

I don't see most people being willing or able to #riot. And I don't see #riots bringing about ANY real positive change. Violence makes a #ProtestMovement look bad, which is why groups like #MarchForOurLives demand their #protestors do not engage or be drawn into ANY violence.

The folks who can't afford to miss a rent payment definitely can't afford any jail time or criminal record. And most people are happy to #protest peacefully, but will gladly turn in any agitators in their midst.

Violence plays into the hands of the #fascists and builds UP the rhetoric of the other side, giving it validity in the eyes of its followers.

#PeacefulProtest requires patience, but it never fails in the long run.

The tyrants always fall... always.

Taking cyberattacks seriously: the (likely) Albanian cyber aggression and the Iranian responsibility

There has been a great talking about the #Islamic Republic of Iran during last years, starting from the stall of the nuclear deal, till the terrible and bloody #repression of #Iranian people #protesting the Ayatollahs’ regime.

But few are the comments on the Iranian responsibility for the cyber-State #attacks against #Albania, a North #Atlantic Treaty Organization (#NATO) country.

During the #Suffragette movement (after 1910), women would break windows to protest voting restrictions. Many of them used a small toffee hammer that they kept hidden inside their muffs and inside special discrete pockets they had sewn into their skirts. They would also use such pockets to hide rocks to throw at policemen.

However (and this is most relevant here), this #activism failed to achieve their goals, and in fact alienated public support for their cause, setting the movement back considerably.

"Last week the energy #union in #France turned off the power to one of #Macron's ministers' offices in #solidarity with those #protesting the raising #retirement age, and this week they made the bills to low #income #households zero. They took power from the #politicians and gave it to the #poor. This is what the fuck I'm talking about, we cannot let fiscal #capital #colonise our #minds to the extent that we #think that the only way to #redistribute and shift the balance of power is by giving #people #money. The #union is showing the power it has by taking energy - literally power - from the #rich and giving it to the poor. The rest of the $world should be taking #notes"
