I wish activists would learn that their actions mean nothing if they can't answer one question: "Or what?" Politicians aren't afraid of public dissent anymore. They control the narrative, so even if you've got a million people in the streets all chanting "From the river to the sea!" if you can't answer that single question, it means nothing at all. Remember that Trump was impeached twice, and he replied to people saying he can't stay in office with, "Or what?" No one had an answer for him, so he stayed. That's been his entire presidency. "You can't start a war in Iran without Congress's approval." "Or what?" Crickets, so he did it. Your 'direct action' needs to be direct. If you can't give a meaningful ultimatum, you are wasting your time.
