The first one had 5 million, and the second one had 7 million. Yesterday’s was the third one.

No need to be fatalistic.

  • the previous protests were huge. Keeping up steam is more important than growing.
  • 13% increase is still significant growth.

Wake me when the guillotines come out.

Fuck that. Start building them yourself

I can build them, but if the crowd doesn't support it, it's painting a target on my own back for nothing.

There probably will never be a demonstration with perfectly aligned opinions, but I think you would definitely find your crowd or more likely your crowd would find you with such a rallying point.

By the time the guillotines are usable, you've already won. They'll just be turned against you. Build community if you want to win.
