Ah yes, the "we shouldn't bother doing anything unless it's unspecified violence at an unspecified time/place to kill the people who are actually fucking everyone up" argument.

Take a second to think about this. I get that you're basically just voicing your frustration, and I agree that billionaires ARE the main problem, but you're going on the Internet poo-pooing people trying to do SOMETHING. Not just something, something concrete with a general goal and a time and place. Where people will meet, talk, and get practiced with protesting and doing something.

Protests are about much more than their organizers stated goal. It's also about the connections and experience people get just as much.

So please stop spreading this cynicism. It's not a new take, and it doesn't help anything unless you're going to back it up with concrete calls to action that the reasonable random people reading this can do.

You read me like a book, I am indeed just bouncing my frustrations into here. Please accept my apologies.
