Ikr? Those protestors really went out of their way (on their day off) to really stick it to trump (who was happily playing golf). Goes to show how ineffective and purely symbolic these protests are.

So we should continue wasting time, effort, and energy to NOT pose as any threat? So what's the point?

If you want to piss off a Sociopathic Oligarch, then protest at their place of business. Block their entrances, interrupt the flow of business, make it difficult to do business, inconvenience their employees, irritate their neighbors, embarrass them to their neighbors, etc.

So how does gathering outside the White House or town halls move us towards this goal?

Then why aren't you being downvoted to oblivion?

People drove from all across the country to go to Washington yesterday, organizers supplied coaches from every major city. Same with BLM, Occupy, and many movements before it. But god forbid we do that towards a location that could actually make a difference.

Touche. Perhaps I figure that we'd already be at that stage by now, considering how broad the consensus is about who the villains are. Considering the crime that Luigi is unjustly taking the fall for, and how uniting across the board that was, I figured that was less a seed being planted and more a full grown tree bearing fruit.

Why not gather the masses outside their mansions? Why do people keep gathering at the most calculatedly ineffectual areas where they're ignored time and time again?

Why all these marches in areas that these oligarchs don't care about? Why not their mansions?

Maybe if more people hold up signs and occupy a sidewalk outside buildings that these oligarchs never go to will fix this! Lets organize ANYWHERE BUT their mansions, lets not inconvenience them too much and inconvenience eachother even more. That'll show em! I can't wait for the next time millions of people gather together to be ignored, just so long as we don't organize and gather at places we can't be ignored, that'll make them fear us!

Hard /s because people still seem to believe that peacefully holding signs and capitulating to the villains will fix anything.

Take a guess, surely your imagination isn't limited to just "talking about it". Perhaps maybe fighting for it? Like we did with women's rights, slavery, racial discrimination, workers having weekends, they all changed from people talking about it AND fighting for it.

Perhaps it's high time to go beyond talking about it.

Or we should've listened to what native americans were trying to tell us for centuries.

Wow, $11 trillion is a lot. Really puts the $36 trillion sitting liquid in offshore tax havens into perspective (yet seems to be missing from every conversation about money.)

Really puts the £36 TRILLION that's sitting liquid in offshore tax havens into perspective. $23.7 billion isn't even 1% of that.

Because Israel probably killed more than half the victims of october 7th, probably because they knew about the attack weeks before, probably because they moved that music festival closer to danger, probably because they have a ravenous appetite for baby murder. Hello USA, UK, Netherlands, and Germany you can deport me for saying that.

while people are disappeared, family members are harmed, and millions have their retirements decimated

You think peacefully occupying some sidewalk will prevent this? Perhaps if these crowds appeared outside their mansions instead of buildings that oligarchs never need to set foot in? Why are these large gatherings organized for the most ineffectual areas? Almost as if they're being purposefully steered away from said oligarchs mansions? They're people with names and addresses, not some symbolic building of mystical legislative omnipotent powers.

A very highly placed officer would have to take the first step.

They too have sworn an oath, not only talking about infantry or gruntworkers. More and more that oath seems like a joke.

I know the backstory that's kinda the joke.

They'll help the rich as usual, how do you think we got here?
