These people are fucking morons. All successful protests have been disruptive. Did they not learn about Rosa Parks in school?
My favorite so far was a group of "protestors" chanting 'Whose Streets-Our Streets' while standing on the sidewalk. My new mental image of irony.
During the BLM protests under lockdown as we began to march in the streets we had to tell newer protestors to get in the actual street. It's a funny irony but they did and it was cool. I think there is a natural inclination of most people not to cause a scene. Not to be very disruptive. Not to be too rebellious. And that's okay. Most people want to live a fairly quite and productive life, honestly. Even when they are angry and fed up. That's the job organizers, though. To show them that this is what we are doing and you should participate, too.
Another job of good leftist organizers is to lead some kind of confrontation with the police. I'm not saying violent, necessarily. Be antagonistic, though. It's easy to get the cops to show their "us versus you" mentality. Get the libs to not just see it but to feel that. To realize the cops are against them, too. A major problem with liberals is that they think the police are their friends. It must be dispelled if anything positive will ever happen in this country.
All they learned is that Rosa Parks was tired and sat on the bus, she got arrested. MLK had a speech in D.C, and racism was defeated.
The paradigm we are taught is that if oppressed people are "deserving" enough and suffer to a sufficient degree our kind-hearted overlords will change things and "make them right." We are taught that liberation rests upon the goodness of our rulers and it is not up to us regular people to decide.
Oh God, they'd be criticizing Rosa Parks if that had happened in this period
"Don't argue, just go to the back of the bus and later tell people, and let everyone know how it made you feel; doing it the way you did you've upset everyone and now no one knows what you were trying to do"
