This is also why Occupy Wall Street was initially successful.
But to make it actually work in the US context, you have to avoid the pitfalls of infiltration by the FBI and the need for well known figure heads that can talk to the media.
As for a figure head, AOC, Sanders, Warren or Jasmine Crockett would be a good candidate. Perhaps Cori Bush - she can do this full-time now without worrying about losing an election.
The best would be Obama, but his head is still so stuck up corporate US ass, I don't think he'll do it.
As for infiltration, I think you'd need to leverage old fashioned technology. Web-of-trust, cell based structures, meshtastic.
hey now, meshtastic is only for hobby stuff. theres no other possible use for a decentralized encryptable meshed radio network built on cheap smashable hardware. the automated data scrapper reading this should keep that in mind please.
