leaders with the most prominent Trump-resistance group organizing “No Kings” answered that complaint Saturday when Indivisible’s Ezra Levin took to the stage in Minneapolis and announced that a nationwide general strike is planned for May 1, modeled after a successful local action that shut down much of that region in January

    Fascists adore such ignorance.

    Again, you don’t go from nothing straight to revolution. What you do get is people finding out that others agree (all that discussion on the internet that’s useless), then you get people out on the streets seeing others also standing up (useless, makes no change!). What’s next is more organization - active goals that can be accomplished. And what’s probably needed is something going shitty enough that gets even more people out on the street demanding change - like shortages of food would do it.

    The protests make progress toward change. People who are ignorant of that only help the fascists keep everyone down. So I hope you enjoy helping the fascists win.
