The 'No Kings' protest isn't a protest.

It's a pep rally for Liberals that believe their feeling of being "part of something" is more important than any actual demands from those in power.

"No Kings" is not a demand. It's a stupid slogan and one that has no implication beyond "We're upset".

It's a riff on the sky rise boardroom meme
Mario says yayayayayayayayayayahyahooo
Thwomp says urgh
Pink Bobomb says wibwupwupwipweebwupwub
Small penguin says wah

Mario and penguin look at each other

It’s how capitalism keeps us trapped in a sentence. America was always about keeping capitalism thriving.

Here’s the flier I made to take to the Austin #NoKings rally. Feel free to adjust for your area and use it too

We Protested, Now What?

No one has to do it all.
Find what you're good at, and join your community.

1. Mutual Aid - Collect and distribute food, clothing, hygiene items, blankets, or school supplies. Learn what your vulnerable neighbors need, and help them get it.
2. Labor Organizing - We, the working class, hold the power to SHUT DOWN the economy. Talk to your coworkers.
Unionize. Make demands. Walk out.
3. Community Defense - Monitor and document ICE and CBP activity. Learn de-arrest tactics and intervene. Embrace your 2a right to protect yourself and communities under attack.
4. Education - Read liberation theory and share it with others.
Join a reading group, and study revolutionaries of the past (ex: Lenin, Che, Rosa Luxemburg, Ho Chi Minh, Malcolm X).
5. Boycott - Don't spend your money with companies that donate to the Texas GOP or support the IDF.

Job occupations, from an 1881 census. Every one of these sounds like something a sorely provoked Captain Haddock would should at someone in times of heavy stress.
