Comment on YSK: There's a protest today at noon at your state capitol.
PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 4 weeks agoInteresting how you skipped over the BLM protests, which were literally 100 times larger than the Women’s March, and resulted in significant changes to the exact thing they were protesting, which had previously been a basically unchangeable fact of American government and society.
There’s also Euromaidan, which toppled a corrupt government, with about 4 times the attendance of the Women’s March.

There were hundreds of BLM protests over the course of several months. This needs to be a sustained effort or it’s going to die on the vine

100% agreed. That’s why I was lecturing the person who was depressing support for them, and saying that protesting in general wasn’t effective.

It’s going to take sustained effort over time, so… don’t start? I’m struggling to find the logic here.

Who said not to start? Not me, that’s for sure. I said not to stop.
