   "people seem to be thinking of these protests as social events".

   I'm not actually sure that's bad, though? Because maybe connecting with other people who are pissed off and fed up at the situation would be a good thing actually?

   And maybe improving morale by getting together in big numbers and getting that energy going could be good too?

   Not all protests are for the same purpose, and that's actually a good thing.

     I know there will be a whole bunch of normies at these protests, but we DO want to get the general public involved, don't we?

     @artemis Some folks I think are too caught up in an identity as “a protester” or “an activist” and so we (which I say bc I also fight against this tendency in myself” see a goofy-ass protest and struggle to reconcile what we are seeing with what we want to imagine ourselves being a protagonist in.

     It doesn’t have to be like this — it’s totally ok to either not go to the goody thing and instead participate in a complimentary other rebellious activity, and also ok to go to the goofy thing just like many of us also regularly go to goofy-ass fuck shit like sporting events, 4th of July parades and pop concerts

     @riotmuffin @artemis Right. The cop in our heads sometimes is the one saying "You aren't being radical and hardcore enough."
