    While I mostly agree with the sentiment, blocking traffic can still be effective. Maybe only block/hinder places like shopping malls and other capitalist structures. Leave the public roads and access to hospitals/courts alone. The goal is to bring nationwide GDP to as close to a halt as possible, since wealth is the only thing these people care about.

      Conditionally I think that’s a better stand, but nonetheless it’s shifting the fallout to others with little/no risk to the activist. IMO I still don’t think it’s great.

      Blocking traffic doesn’t do shit and only pisses off the people in the lowest wage groups. It’s a way to get people to not be on your side.

        Did you just ignore where I said to not block public roads? Sure sounds like you did

          How about we just stay as far away from traffic as possible.

          Obstructing freedom of movement really pisses off the general public, and drives them to seek authoritarian solutions.

          Nothing turns people from “All Cops Are Bastards” to “Back The Blue” faster than cops driving through protest barricades.

          Stay away from traffic.
