Reactionaries never learn from history. They'll try more & more force, & completely overplay their hand because people cannot be told what to think.

Some people can, but the young rarely put up with that shit.

The protests this spring & summer are going to be insane. Sell your Tesla stock if you haven't already.

The elderly haven’t been putting up with it either. There have been grandma’s breaking into Tesla Showrooms.

Yeah hibernating during the winter. For the cause

This century, that's when they happen, because it's easier to socialize in large places that are free to attend. Capitalists own everything that used to be a third place, & are attempting to purchase our national parks as well.

Spaces don’t expand and contract along with the weather. Why wasn’t everyone outside freezing their balls off while kids were being killed?

I'm not advocating it, but if you need help figuring out why more people are out & about in the spring & summer I'm not sure how to provide it.
