   i don't think i'd ever participate in big protests. i might point a camera toward one or fly a drone over it or something. but no point in standing in one.
   
   there's always some assclown that gets photographed five seconds after he needs to be, then they just send in the police and everyone gives up. pointless.

     @icedquinn I would love to be one of those guys who livestreams protests.

     There'd be some degree of danger, but at the same time I'm white so I'd be able to get away with more than someone like #AndyNgo.

     @realcaseyrollins they either take the footage or otherwise acquire it and have used it to arrest protestors

     I use to photo and video protests, but the Jan 6 political prisoners have had a chilling effect that I don't think most people really understand. People on one side are cheering the old cancer lady getting put in prison for three months, and they're going to be totally blind-sighted when it happens to them.

     @djsumdog @realcaseyrollins that's the zoomers and commies in general yeah. we've reached the point everyone forgot civilization and esp. why maybe you should throw saurons rings in the volcano instead of trying to own them

     @realcaseyrollins @djsumdog it's been really funny the few times they ripped a feds mask off, took a photo and face rec'd him as a fed. They get SO mad and run the fuck away

     @icedquinn @djsumdog That kinda stuff is why I'd try to be completely anonymous when doing stuff like that, wearing like a full face mask and stuff.

     I guess technically one could figure out who I was if they tried hard enough, but I wouldn't want to make it easy for them.

     @icedquinn that’s a realization that I wish more people would come to.

     Not only do so many protests seem pointless in the first place, but so many are counterproductive, actually hurting their own causes by pissing off people they inconvenience.

     All too often protests are just parties full of people who don’t realize the negative impacts they’re having.

     It’s pointless at best.
