I’m skeptical of this one. On one hand, I am glad that this is going to be visible and let other people know that they aren’t alone and a resistance is there. However, this is unorganized as hell. You’re going to have a lot of first time protestors who don’t know the basics of protesting against an active police state. I think this protest is a net positive, but not a massive one. The best we can hope for is for organizers to make use of this enthusiasm in the future or we get very visible tension escalation.

The fact that Nolan isn’t getting the hint that people fucking HATE his sound mixing choices is insane to me.
I was watching a movie where this guy’s wife was urging him to apologize to another guy he used to bully. His response was “people don’t just do that!” My friend agreed. I said “We’re people. We can do that right now.”
He was silent for a half hour.
I hope he is okay.
I one made risotto with beets. It looked like a brain.
It’s difficult. My dad honestly raised me to be a loving human being, but seeing him support this shit is going against everything he taught his kids about being good people. But I don’t know if he could have that conversation in good faith. I’ve debated writing him a letter but who knows.
Yeah, that’s a good point. European countries have that protest game down strong because there’s such an enshrined culture of collective action. We don’t have that here. Yet.
