there is a legit concern that while protests help, it is not enough. The Empire will let us scream as much as we want... but then what! I've been going to Palestine rallies for more than a year, every single Sunday, and screaming! And then... There has to be something else! Please, Allah help me think and work with like-minded people to stop the bloodshed! Please!
I doubt very seriously that those who are planning to do something, that can have lasting effects on this totalitarian system, are any of us out here in the public spaces, where the monitors are sure tonknow who and where we are. If such people exist, they should be as off-grid as is possible in our surveillance society.
Stop participating in the their system and build parallel systems. Stop giving your money to the government, banks and corporations. Use cash, buy local, barter, grow as much of your own food as you can, even in a city backyard or balcony, move to Linux, don't use Netflix, etc. More complex items like computers, phones, cars - buy second hand or at least not made by regimes that fund what goes against your values.
They can only do this because the public is financing it. They can ignore your protests but they can't ignore it when you remove what they really care for: money. Every dollar you spend, every Internet website you use is a vote. I'm struggling to get rid of YouTube at the moment but I'll find a solution for that one as well.
