The popularization of this "rule" was a mistake. Setting aside that this is merely an observation made by a person and not scientific fact, it says that 3.5% of the population when consistently engaged have never failed to cause change. If these 13 million all went out and occupied their local city/town squares indefinitely, Trump would fold faster than you can say TACO, which... isn't exactly news.
Thank you! It gets old real fast to hear people talking about "ThE 3.5%" like it's an Xbox achievement that trust removes facism from power.
Bitch marching does nothing if your judges are minions of power and your local politicians serve money before anyone.
Wait, I thought we all went political super saiyan at 3.5%. Then how high is it? 100%? 1000%?
It was an incredible showing, but we need discipline and solidarity. I worry that events like Saturday are more a release valve than anything else - a chance for a lot of people to blow off steam. It was awesome, and I'm glad and grateful that it happened, but we really need the pressure to build.
We need to form and connect local organizations and nationwide unions, we need strikes, boycotts, shutdowns - we need to force societal and economic disruptions of the status quo.
Exactly. The point of protests like these should theoretically be to help like-minded people connect so they can progress to more effective resistance, but I'm not sure how many people are aware of this, and the 3.5% "rule" certainly doesn't help.
