#NoKings 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.
It's quite a feat for somebody to seriously suggest that America is indistinguishable from Russian and Saudi oligarchies.
That's a special kind of echo chamber.
It's a simple concept that people can understand and support. It brings people out. Their signs cover issues like ICE and rule of law but also just say "dump Trump"
Opponents who say "what are you on about" are pretending not to understand.
@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.
