I know from experience that peaceful demonstrations are sometimes undermined by state agents who try to agitate the masses, shout the first insulsts,
throw the first stones and - magically - are the first to disappear once the police use tear gas, tonfas and shackles on the protestors. That's why
(this time I'm
ashamed to say) I hardly ever joined any demonstrations since.
I must admit I don't know how to start a wave. I hate that blank stare when I talk to people, they complain about government and economy, I say
"let's do something" and they go like "sure, go ahead, I'm with you". It's going to be expensive and you'll need MAJOR support. Talk to
people. Hand out flyers and leaflets. Start a viral campaign on the internet. Make appearances on major TV networks. Set a date, like, "remember,
remember, the fifth of November" (V for Vendetta). As far as I can see from his videos, not even Alex Jones managed to get enough people together for
a serious demonstration. Be a torch and make people burn. Wake them up. Light the fire.
I wish I could, I've not tried my best yet except for talking and writing but that's why I'm on ATS. I really want stuff to happen, and this must
be the largest group of like-minded people I've ever met. I can't convince anyone, people must convince themselves. When people ask you for an
agenda (they'll want to know what you're up to), just say "a better world". They'll want to know how you want to achieve it - "demonstrate,
peacefully, no flags or signs waving, no shouts, only singing the anthem (or 99 red balloons) and marching with a broad smile on your face". They'll
want to know what comes next - "a better world".
I bet there are enough people from all over the world here on ATS, and I bet together they could conceive of ways to turn the whole planet into the
other direction. Let's do so then, except when we already have too much to loose.
