look at the amazing no kings protests in the US where people danced and sang their way into a dictatorship.
Threaten capital.
Occupy Wall Street enters chat.
i say we need to start thinking bigger. transport. electricity. water. hit the system where it hurts
And then finally do nothing. these people are doing you are thinking.
Are you in the US? You can get from any point of France to the capital relatively quick through driving or transit. People in the US do stuff but it's tough to have numbers in the streets like this when we are so spread out and the police will shoot you on the way.
these guys are also taking a beating in Paris. I'm just saying that there is a massive gap between the American perception of themselves and the reality.
hit ordinary people where it hurts?
Not saying we should limit those essentials, but you do mention a phenomena that we should be aware of, and that's that any damage to economics at any level tends to have a ripple effect, whereby normal people wind up feeling the pain in some form. Could be as mundane as layoffs from "cost cutting," in response to the need for more security, or loss of assets, or anything really.
