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.

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!"

Agreed the amount of people who have been brainwashed by Rogan is ridiculous. Most of the people I work with religiously follow him and whatever he says is 100% true.

Nah, it's just blatantly unignorable now.
