Most of them are just neoliberals who are upset there’s still a handful of regulations stopping them from going full psycopath in the name of record profits.

No

Class solidarity.

“The results speak for themselves” was a perfect way to undermine your own argument.

Dictatorships are not intrinsically bad. You can have good dictators, even if they are rare.

Yet they can’t handle competition, accountability or limits to their power? Fuck off fascist.

For-profit, neoliberal media will never fairly cover any protest that may impact the profits of other neoliberals. It doesn’t matter what form the protest takes, nor what the protest is for.

It’s been that way ever since “Occupy Wall St”, when news anchors feigned carefully practised bewilderment and asked "But what are they protesting. Of course if you asked any of the actual protesters, they were happy to make it clear.

So they just didn’t ask.

Measuring any act of protest by metric of “the media covered it in a way that will bring the great unwashed on side” ensures that no protest will ever meet your standard. You may as well advocate that people don’t bother and just politely wait for the end of the world. You won’t even be alone in doing it.

Fortunately, those media companies don’t control every method of communication just yet, so we can discuss it on social media or look it up independently.

What we can’t escape is the endless protest policing, where people complain “that’s not how I would have done it” on social media.

So maybe it’s time for those people to unveil their perfect protest strategy that gets international attention, doesn’t inconvenience anybody, gets fairly covered despite the millions spent to prevent it and doesn’t require 3 wet wipes to fix.

My money is on their big reveal being “do fuck all and try and die of old age before it matters”.

If only you held yourself to the same standard before yet another generic “This isn’t an effective form of protest even though it made the news, and I’m talking about it, and I know what it was about” comment.

Or fuck, even in this reply, where your “useful response” was “you should protest with murder”.

Looks to me like you just didn’t like your opinions challenged, you just wanted to make sure everybody knew what they were.

Just wait until they find out how inconvenient widespread environmental catastrophe is.

What form of protest gets your rubber stamp of approval?

“The basic (colonial) double standard of the Israel Palestine “conflict” is that any Palestinian violence justifies any Israeli violence, but no Israeli violence ever justifies any Palestinian violence, and once you see it, you’ll never stop seeing it.”
