    Yeah that’s a great point. Soon as I saw the companies at the Inauguration I deleted social media platforms owned by them and switched to DuckDuckGo/Firefox. Ive been on Linux Mint for some time.

    Protesting with our wallets and going against the whole consumerism culture of these oligarchs is definitely the way to go. :)

    I honestly don’t think these one off protests will force any change personally. They are a start to network and I think we should shift protests to be places to centralize people to a method of communication.

    But the only thing that would force the hand of change is a general strike for weeks/months like Georgia is doing.

    One decentralized protest organizer is starting a method of collecting sign ups to organize such a protest. Im not sure who the original organizer is but id rather give trust that something will come of it.

    Personally, I think I will see if I can be more involved in my local state politics and volunteering. Might see if I can run for local office or if that is feasible.

  • Do you guys ever sit there and kinda feel numb?

    You know eventually things may escalate and things feel like if that happens, it’ll start a very bloody and horrific result. And when that happens a lot of things will drastically change.

    A beginning of horror - Just because humans do always what they do in history - especially leaders.

    They’ve known for so long what they could have done to make things better. But they choose not to everyday. Why do a lot of them go bad? Why does this always happen? Are we all doomed to repeat a cycle until the Earth dies?

    Just a cycle of greedy humans making others suffer.
