protests are a tremendous example of strawman argument that will probably be counterproductive but take a tremendous amount of social resources to engage in.

A whole lot of people yelling no kings! while their opponents simply say, yeah, right, no kings... we agree, so what are you on about?

That pointless interaction has already been showing up in media, substantial messages being lost in the straw man.

It's a symptom of people being locked in their echo chambers. It's sad, it's pathetic.

@volkris kings ought to refer to the entire political class, business cartels and media.

America is indistinguishable from Russian and Saudi oligarchies of uber-wealth.

That's a special kind of echo chamber.
