    Yup, “designated protest zones” with a permit were designed to preserve the illusion of protest while removing the efficacy in the wake of the civil rights movement, removing protest from the eyelines, profit operations, and governmental operation of those being protested.

    If a protest isn’t disruptive, it’s masturbation. Might feel good, but it won’t do shit.

    Just as with our American free speech, it’s been neutered into not mattering, and it will be silenced on for profit media and buried/quieted on for profit social media if it’s an opinion the oligarchs don’t want to be spread, just like Luigi when they realized nothing they could propagandize using their for profit bully pulpits would turn our crony capitalist beaten citizenry against him.
