Protests are how we pull back the bow to fire an arrow. Mock it if you want, but stand in the way at your own risk.

If you live in NYC or want to move here the MTA (subway, train, bus network) has a variety of job openings including in IT.Station agent sounds cool. I burned out on programming years ago but still have to do it, so I highly respect anyone who can escape screens for real life.

If you believe nonviolent protest is more effective, then simply advocate for it.It's not the fascists' opinions that matter.
Once anti-fascists initiate violence, we lose the judges, we lose the citizens, we lose the sympathy of non-corrupt law enforcement.
Those people's minds are the actual battlefield which determines whether we win or lose.

Dude you're the president, if you can't declassify then it doesn't exist.
