Wear multiple layers of clothing so you can dip into the crowd and drop your outer layer if you've drawn unwanted attention.
lol. im doing quite the opposite.
Why is this person getting downvoted?
What if someone's actions draw unwanted attention, and they use that clothing trick to get another protester that's wholly innocent in hot water just because they look the same?
This is about PROTECTING OUR PEOPLE, not hiding away and potentially throwing others under the bus with poorly thought out actions.
Y'all should rethink it. How does changing your outer layers incriminate anyone else? If they "look the same" they probably would've gotten shit anyways..
Because if your old outer layers look like one of the countless other people near you? And now there's one less person that looks like you did?
Again, maybe grow the fuck up and don't take actions in a peaceful protest that make you need to change your goddamn appearance. Like you have to be completely fucking braindead to do shit that gives the enemy more ammo.
This isn't a fucking field trip, and if you think it is, you're a goddamned troglodyte.
Lmao. You know that's flimsy af at best.
They're talking about gunning down protestors en mass. I think they've already got enough ammo.
You went, right? Had a different atmosphere from what you're used to when you think of protests, right?
There are times when we need to send a message, and a message that CONFLICTS with the narrative they are trying to sell about how we're pushing back. That's what I meant by ammo, not literal ammunition. They sell a narrative, and we push back against it as if our actions are taking part in a debate. This is how we get more average people into our rank.
There's a time and place for more raucous unrest, and it's not when elders are in our rank, nor when those who structured the protest state that said actions are unwelcome.
Downvote all you want (lol, can't see it on my end since I blocked c/Ohio) but I hope you hold onto the anger you have for when we really need it, which still seems like it's right around the corner.
