Also, whatever you think of this action (I happen to be against it because it's illegal.), acknowledge that mobilizing this many people is the result of invisible forms of organizing, not neccesarily legible to the "left" whose traditions cross-polinate with the professionalized activism of ngos, labor unions and political parties.

It's just a shame that it was expressed this way. We need major social democratic reforms and avenues for disenfranchised people to exercise political power so these kinds of desperate actions don't disrupt our lives.

The provocative title is a way to call attention to the ways that overseas reporting and domestic reporting on social conflict differ. A detournament of imperialist propaganda if you will.

I am now picking up on the bit now that you are pointing it out (my dumbfuck ass missed the obvious tells lol). So I responded initially with my very basic attempt at working with socdems, which is also dumb the more I think about it. Though I do personally believe that getting more normie people to un-register for either party and be unaffiliated would be interesting to see how they responded to it. I am deleting my post as I would for sharing an Onion article without seeing where it was from. lol
