Hmmm... Don't quite know what to write here. Last entry was before I cancelled and later reactivated my account. I have been reading posts on the anarchism group. It is interesting and inspiring.
I have never been to a protest, or any event organized by some politically or interest based group. I have read quite a bit from anarchist thinkers. Never practiced resistance though. I try to buy locally produced products and items that are ecologically certified and fair-trade products. This is the least I can do.
Perhaps I am lazy and need to get off my chair, but I find protests not really my thing. Nor do I see what they accomplish--apart from recognizing many share common values. I respect people who voice their descent, but I would be pissed off if an interest group came and shouted slogans outside an anarcho- syndicalist meeting.
I guess I would rather gather like-minded people together so we can formulate a way to improve the community. I realize this happens before a protest, during a protest and after.
I hope this entry does not come across as a critique of protesters. This is simply a capricious entry of my reaction to protests.
