Remember TX: lots of little marches will stretch repressive resources thin and keep many more people safe than a large protest that doesn't move, allowing it to be kettled.
Let me guess, the protests in TX aren't even that remarkable.
- They have been very peaceful and pleasant, even a conservative friend who saw one thought it was good they were out there and complaining.
- Lots of ‘Citizen Soldiers’ taken from their full time careers and family, at the (yuge) expense of tax payers, for no reason.
- Just wait till Joe Rogan comments on it.
  
  It's totally wild to me how Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson just dominated the podcast space. I was off listening to The Adventure Zone and Stuff You Missed In History Class and Revolutions and mfs kept asking me to listen to those dipshits. I tried one episode of Rogan and was like "this sucks, he's a fucking idiot", and they were like "yeah, I know, right? It's great!"
It begins it now official we are a police state.
- Nah, it's just blatantly unignorable now.
