Well remember them in 25 years and file FOIA requests after they hope everyone forgot. Optimistic that will even be an option in the future I know but instead of just protesting if we just keep spamming them with requests, relentlessly who knows what we might achieve.
Since about occupy Wall Street I think we can see that any protest for a cause that is already well understood and acknowledged by the public at large(meaning the activism still needs to raise awareness that a problem exists at all) now requires some form of other actual action to gain any traction
Too many people are too complacent, unwilling, or simply unable to do more than just express their opinion.
It’s just like with abuse victims, the best results happen when they are not only able to take action against their abusers, by but face them too. Which is often if not usually a cruel injustice to have a system that only seems to get good results when it requires further trauma to those who need justice.
Whether that trauma is physical, psychological or simply even economic trauma
We COULD simply stock up on say rice and beans, then quit participating in the system that is constantly fucking over those it should be seeking to protect, we the people.
But as long as we won’t and can’t simply stop long enough and have a place to sleep, clothes on our backs and food in our stomachs we will lose to those that syphon all of our labour, the sliver of time we have on this planet, we will continue to suffer greater and greater losses…
First they came for criminals, then they came for…
Yeah…
