And I don't want any of you nerds going "Umm actually the cops won in the end." At me either. That's not the point. The point is they couldn't control the public when people got together and started getting rowdy.

Just remember they lost control for a moment.

Maybe relevant but I've heard that a group of 500 people is easy for cops to deal with but 10 groups of 50 is impossible.

Frankly as long as people are just doing the whole peaceful protest nonsense its easy for them. All it does is make the pigs work harder which is cool but the real enemy, the rich, dont care. Until people do something that actually effects them theyll ignore it.

Long con idea: go to big boat school for years and pilot big boats until they trust you enough to pilot a very big boat through an important canal.

Then do something very funny ever-given

I admire some sort of hope because god knows we need it, but itโ€™s fucking over once they start using drones
