You don’t have to “sign up”. You can just scroll down a bit to the “Find A Protest Now” button, or click the direct link I provided above.

ETA, you don’t even need a clever sign to hold up. Just being present is good enough.

    The problem is we are all choosing to do things with our time that aren’t perfectly efficient. These comments aren’t going to change anything, yet we’re still making them. Actions being perfect is not the goal. Actions that get people motivated is.

    I wouldn’t usually go and tell you that you’re not doing anything useful by commenting, but since that’s what you’re doing I think it’s important. Either stop dismissing people taking these actions or recognize that you’re wasting your time too. Stop implying that they should stop. They’re doing far more than you or I are right now.

      I did not at any point imply nor directly say they should give up. Instead I suggested a route that takes care of the root cause itself rather than dealing with one of the symptomps.

      You are correct in saying that I am wasting my time sharing my perspective of a solution with someone who is not open to a different opinion. I plead guilty.

        No, I meant you’re wasting your time posting on Lemmy in general. We aren’t going to accomplish anything posting on here. Just as we’re wasting our time, they may be also. They’re doing a lot more than we are.
