17 days agoI’m a bit confused on how quickly you expect political change to happen…do you think the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of No Kings can be assessed a week on? Imagine you were in Birmingham during the bus boycott - after a week you’d be out there saying “look! We did this and nothing happened!”
I don’t love everything about no kings, the tactics, and the messaging. But give it a second, dude!

Ok, unlike the other commenter, you are engaging and this is a fair point. I don’t know enough about the Nepal and South Korea case to assess how fast it took: Yes, it looked like a week to international observers who aren’t reading the Nepal Daily or whatever, but I’d want to here from people on the ground about how much or how little lead up and organization there was leading up to the tipping points.
But that’s not disagreeing with you - just saying I genuinely don’t know if you’re right or not, but I do appreciate the comparisons.
