@inthehands It's a waste of time because this isn't a real argument meant to convince a thinking audience, but a part of my brain can't help but to think about what the logistics and cost would be like to pay tens of thousands or millions of people to show up with signs and t-shirts and hats and pins to stay for several hours protesting and marching and chanting and so on. How much infrastructure would that take? How many people do you have to try to recruit for each 100 that actually showed up? How would you verify which people to pay? How would you find that many people without accidentally sending an invitation to, say, a journalist from The Atlantic?
