And you fail to address my point.

These loose collections of movements are too easily disparaged and negated on the political stage. I wish you the best, but I know what’s going to happen

The violence will escalate and there will be no spokesman to strategize a message.

You haven’t said anything that addresses my core point. You just hope, without reason, that your methods will lead to meaningful change.

You underestimate the ease at which the right can disrupt leaderless leftist mobs.

We are beginning to see the deployment and coordination of far right individuals to attend things like Tesla Takedown. And unlike you, these far right assholes have a leader and a plan, and know each other.

How will you differentiate between false flag ops done during these protests vs official acts of resistance?

I wish the best for the protesters. But it’s all very dumb. Maybe we manage to defeat Trump in the long term but some very obvious acts of disruption are going to fuck over these protesters.

More siloed than literally the separate but equal era??

I don’t think so. MLK Jr. Had to do that shit with zero Black media supporting him. Because black media didn’t exist.

The French solved this problem by creating a separate Congress to represent the people.

Ignore the like 40 years of violence and infighting. But I do believe that we need something more akin to this. If the Democratic party is dead then we build our own.

Democrats are invited of course, lol. And hell, might as well invite Republicans too. But in any and all cases, it needs a leader that can speak for everyone and is responsible for the actions of everyone.

No.

But the #1 podcast is now the anti-Trump MeidasTouch network. They’ll run your leaders.

There are protests and marches going on - I’d forgive you not knowing about them since nobody (including “left leaning media”) covers them. You’ll only see coverage in non-domestic outlets.

I’m talking about 50501, Tesla Takedown and Latino Freeze.

I’ll forgive you for not knowing about these protests because they don’t have spokespersons. Also, it’s probably irrelevant to learn about these leaderless groups because they’re inevitably doomed to fail without a leader.

AoC and Bernie seem to be doing fine, last time I checked.

But they will not step up to ‘own’ 50501 or Tesla Takedown. That means y’all need to find another spokesperson if there’s any hope of actually existing longer than a year.

Being headless means it’s more difficult to launch ad hominem attacks based on oppo research

Laughs in BLM.

You’re shitting me. Or are you serious? I’m having difficulty trying to figure out what’s funnier.

BLM is seen by the mainstream as an angry mob who takes over cities and causes riots. Oppo-research? They don’t even bother. Without a leader, movements like BLM cannot hold onto a brand at all.

Its impossible to ‘prove’ to the public that BLM is a peaceful group if they don’t even have a leader.

And give it… I dunno… 6 months? 12 months? And 50501 and Tesla Takedown will be similarly wiped out in the public eye. Your opponents know how to fuck a leaderless group. Just say shit in public, and there’s no one there who can possibly opposed Donald Trump’s bullshit because there’s no leader to BLM to say what the group stands for on TV.

It’s not that the right wing has more charismatic leaders, or even better leaders

Who was the leader of BLM? Who is the leader of TeslaTakedown?

You’ve already failed to understand the point. The left doesn’t even have a leader to begin with.

Those charismatic people who can also stay true to reality are few and far between.

I’m not even looking for a charismatic person. I’m just looking for “a person”.

You’ve got this entire process backwards my man.

Martin Luther King Jr. didn’t need a platform. Nor Malcom X. If the goal is to amplify just one voice, its going to be far easier than trying to amplify a crowd of screams.

We’d be able to pass out pamphlets of the spokesman, host radio talks and/or large scale rallies with the spokesman in major cities. Then aim to get onto the major channels with the Spokesman. Sure, Joe Rogan, or Medias Network, or whatever. Media will fuck us over but at least we’d be playing the game.

Without the spokesman, you can’t even “show up” to the fucking political game.

Then you’ll lose. Time-and-time again.

Without a spokesman, the right will demonise the group as a whole and you have no defense against it. It becomes too easy to false-flag some violence and blame it on the movement.

Remember: a record number of Republicans were voted into the House of Representatives following Occupy Wall Street. It was an epic failure in terms of political movements.
