Some protesters held signs that read "Fight Nazis not students," "Free Mahmoud free Palestine," and "You can’t deport a movement."

    Is that supposed to be an argument against protesting?

          Then I agree. There’s no safe place to hide from fascists. You have to disrupt and fight them.

        Same, dunno if it was typed to mean the opposite though. Getting plenty of excuses like this from ex-reddit libs that get salty when you tell them to go protest.

          it is my takeaway that our only hope of survival is the biggest and strongest coalition we can put together, and that protests are our most effective recruitment propaganda. eventually we will have the mass to do what must be done

      if by against protesting you mean in favor of more direct action

      Why else would they be trying to scare people from taking action?

        Is being scared your only response?

          Being disabled from 14 years of taking beatings from Nazis and cops at protests is my excuse. I’d wheel my disabled Graves diseased ass out to a protest again against doctors orders if only they would be organized outside billionaires homes.
