@jfml The difference direct action. I would read up on what Minnesota is doing tactically: https://archive.ph/RvWpI

Marches can be useful if it's an active part of something bigger. No Kings is not actively part of anything. The gathering is the protest. And that is ineffective.

This is direct action.

We can talk about the percentage of people it takes to participate in direct action, that's all good and well. But 3.5% of people multiplied by nothing is still nothing.

@fromjason The "No Kings" style of protest isn't about disrupting; it's about networking. (...to oversimplify a bit.)

...and wow, I still can't decide if Thiel is honestly delusional or understands very well the manipulative BS he is spewing.
