RE: protesting signs, what works
I think today's protesters, while doing a miracles work, need to have a genuine sit down conversation about the affectiveness of your words.
i got a glimpse at two girls protesting, one of them holding up "ice gets no pussy" and I thought back to a lot of the signs that occurred while I was protesting just the other day or two ago. Being utterly surrounded by right wing fascists in my very small town halfly rural halfly suburb area, I hear a lot. The response to "funny" signs is that they're not taken seriously because the situation is not being treated seriously.
Humour to cope is a godly medicine, but there comes a point where a dire situation needs special intent put into it. Signs like that get nothing done, affectivity to bring serious change and thought into what's going on. It diminishes affectivity the second things are brushed off because a good majority of the people who WILL be reading your signs are the people you're opposing. They should be thinking deeply.
At the end of the day, ice isn't going to care whether or not they get pussy. They're beating people up, terrorizing kids and communities. It's not affective. And it will be treated and met with the same energy that's put into it. And I am. Fustrated unfortunately.
