  • That’s unfortunately all I expect these be in most localities.

    They all seem to just be a “show up here for two hours and stand on the sidewalk”. The only one that has the potential to do something akin to a legitimate protest will be the one at the actual parade itself in DC.

    Still, wish I could even get to one myself just to try and pass out some zines. They might not be anything more than screaming into the void, but they are also great chances to spread some information and find people.











  • Sadly, people do “want” this. They have been conditioned to want it their entire life, from a young age, through the media they consumed telling them it is what they want and then internalizing those notions without ever realizing it. Now as adults they hold onto those beliefs and are incapable of being introspective about the roots of their own desires to see that they are being manipulated.

    The human mind is no different from the mind of an animal, and can be manipulated in the many of same ways. We live in a society that is a direct product of these manipulations.


  • Yes. They profit off of the service being provided, which is corralling the elderly in a place where others don’t have to be bothered by their existence, essentially “getting rid of them” on the pretense of providing care.

    We exist under capitalism. Everything is presumed to be generating a profit. That’s a requirement under the current system. It is what they are profiting from that is in question.
