    if you’re just going to protests and leaving without interacting with anybody then yeah it’s not gonna be an effective use of your time.

    At least where I’m from, most people treat it as a mix between tailgating and a parade…

    Which is fine and all, it is pretty fun.

    But anyone who tells you it’s productive, is at best ignorant. And if they’re on TV they’re likely paid by billionaires to manufacturere an environment where the worst that happens to billionaires is their drone employees are mildly inconvenienced.

      last i checked i was on lemmy, not tv. and like i said, it’s as productive as you make it. if you just wanna have a good time and shoot the shit then good on you. if you’re pissed off and you want to do something about the current situation, then there’s no better place to meet people who are in the same boat and are trying to band together.

          maybe don’t raise irrelevant strawmen if you don’t want them summarily dismissed? idk bud it’s a shame to hear political activity isn’t working for you.
