Weekend protests alone rarely topple entrenched authoritarian systems. They can signal dissent, but by themselves they often get absorbed into the status quo — tolerated as symbolic outlets so long as they don’t disrupt the machinery of power or profit.
Authoritarian or deeply corrupt regimes usually count on exactly that rhythm:
People vent on weekends,
the economy and bureaucracy run normally on weekdays,
and nothing truly threatens their control.
Real leverage comes when resistance disrupts the system’s ability to function — economically, politically, or socially. That can mean sustained strikes, boycotts, workplace slowdowns, mass non-cooperation, or building alternative structures of community and support that reduce dependence on the regime.
So, while weekend protests can help mobilize and inspire, they’re not enough on their own. The real turning point comes when people stop treating resistance as a weekend activity and start integrating it into daily life — when disruption becomes continuous, organized, and impossible to ignore.
I am braving the Venezualan gangs & attending the protest in Aurora Colorado!!!

I agree. Which is why I also signed up for a strike day when we reach 3.5% of the population. This is just the beginning.
Why are you registering for a fucking protest?
How stupid
Why not? And perhaps you’re the one who is stupid.
Because then you are registered as antifa.
I’m sure they will say what they need to. Doesn’t mean I should go along for the ride.
Thats how it's done!
Amen.
It's not really a protest is you have to register for it, get a permit, have lots of rules, then make sure it's over in 2 hours.
That's just a parade
I’m boycotting the administration by not buying anything new. Except food- all of my food is new.
🤣
How fucked up is that arresting Robby 🤬
Here is a Reality Check for you!
