also NEVER go to protests. protests never changed shit.
protests are either organized by 100% state funded "non governmental organizations" to skew public opinion by showing off masses of protesters who were brought there on tax money by bus and train.
or they are a trap to get people to do stupid shit and/or catalog them with facial recognition.

don't talk to cops. don't talk to journalists. they are NEVER your friend.
@bonifartius in normal democratic countries protests and strikes may affect something. in totalitatian countries like Russia they're useless and dangerous for health and life because they use army and violently beat down demonstrants and that sometimes ends up with brutal violence in prison, afterall. I remember one clash with local "swat" (something of the kind over here, special weaponized police squad). it was bloody mess. and it was like 10 years ago, the regime became much more violent and criminal since. now they throw into jail even for slogan "peace to the world", "I love my Daddy" (real detentions and criminal cases for that) or for simple single picket with an empty sheet of paper. and in jail they use tortures, humiliation and rape and sometimes murder people. that's a very often case. that's a full-sized fascist state. real one, not the imaginary thing that some people call countries like USA and so on.
