Very tenuously P: London marches and revolt

[Henry Musikar]

How's that working?

What?

"a broad swathe of protesters (hedonistic hippies, grandmas for peace, neo-Trotskyites, masked thugs with a yen for window-breaking, doctrinaire academics, apoliticals pissed off about a narrow issue, etc. etc.) all acting in concert to force the concepts of change and/or resistance into the public arena. "

Great.

Keep it up then.

The problem with passive resistance (Gandhi-ism) in a basically democratic country is that the movement is too easily marginalized (no news coverage) or co-opted (sit-coms having characters who comically spout the resistance lingo, Starbucks offering a fraction of a percent to environmental issues, etc.).  It takes a broad swathe of protesters (hedonistic hippies, grandmas for peace, neo-Trotskyites, masked thugs with a yen for window-breaking, doctrinaire academics, apoliticals pissed off about a narrow issue, etc. etc.) all acting in concert to force the concepts of change and/or resistance into the public arena.
