Going to peaceful protests are useful because it can help you meet some more like-minded folks.

Not to mention sometimes a protest starts peaceful and then goes to shit.

I participated in plenty of protests but haven’t made any acquaintances. I think internet is a better space for meeting people.

Taking a look at the Tesla protests it’s just no-impact feel-good thing. Liberals have too much of disdain for non-economic violence.

I’m not exchanging financial information with strangers regardless of whether it is online or offline. You’re not IRA, you don’t need this kind of precautions anyway.

That usually means there are infiltrated agitators.
