    I’ve seen pro-Palestine people show up at these Lib ass NO KINGS protests and other related marches. People are still doing stuff it’s just the campus protests fizzled out cuz I think people realized the whole encampment thing isn’t that effective.

        And teachers who participated were fired, immigrants who participated were deported, etc. They came down hard on them, which is why you know we need to keep doing that.

      The encampments and disruptions were effective, that’s why college kids were getting their skulls cracked and pepper sprayed. The No Kings marches are ineffective, out of sight, out of mind, that’s why noone bothered

      it was the most effective of any anti-genocide protesting in the USA, that’s why it was cracked down on with an iron fist. It stopped not because it was ineffective but because the core of activists was arrested, expelled and beaten

        Yeah actually it’s an indication that it was being effective, and would have continued being effective, which is why the state used its security forces to suppress those tactics.

        there were a few famous and effective encampments but there were also many groups that didn’t correctly follow the escalation ladder just so they could join the encampment wave and therefore were successfully destroyed with little to no actual impact
