Mass cancelations of subscriptions, strategic mass boycotts, and a general boycott will be more effective than planned No Kings protests IMO.
$$$ is the only language they understand.
We're already uncomfortable, but we gotta make them feel it.
The American gov isn’t occupied by Zionists It IS Zionist. America has never been the shining beacon on the hill, it’s always been a settler colonial hell hole built on the bodies of indigenous peoples and scores of enslaved black folk.
One of the filthiest instincts of 21st century Capitalists is their need to retain their vapid existence through self exposure to the masses. Unspoken wealth disparity on its own no longer does the trick - you must stream your superiority directly into the eyeballs of every man, woman and child. It’s not “let them eat cake” it’s “let them watch me eat cake”. This, thankfully, in turn helps distance the masses from capitalist cultural dominance as they’re exposed to the absurd disparities many of us would otherwise struggle to help people see and understand. Similar to how footage from Gaza helped spawn billions of anti zionists by turning “an idea” into something they could see with their own eyes - this will spawn countless anti capitalists as the system further destabilises. Digging their own class grave one video at a time. I say let them post.
I think comparing Mamdani of 2021 to Mamdani of now might be the most clear cut, straightforward evidence that electoralism is wholly insufficient at fighting for socialism and against the encroachment of fascism. It’s genuinely depressing
You can’t have hyperwealth without hyperpoverty. A billionaire exists in one country because child labor exists in another. Stock markets grow by looting countries raw. That’s the reality of capitalism: the misanthropic greed of the rich is fed by devastating the poor.
When you stop reading books, you start losing verbal dexterity, depth of thought and imagination. A closed book is a closed mind. Don't EVER stop reading.
I hate the “all or nothing” approach to boycotting. BOYCOTT what you can especially when it’s something nonessential like restaurants or cafés. you can always choose somewhere else
“Too many people in the u.s. support death and destruction without being aware of it. They indirectly support the killing of people without ever having to look at the corpses.”

If you live in America, you pretty much have to resign yourself to the fact that you're surrounded by propagandized idiots and that includes a lot of the "highly educated" people too.
