        An unorganized spur-of-the-moment movement (even over something good like :acab:) is basically shooting clay pigeons for libs to undermine and assimilate. Without organization and central messaging/demands all the marches and riots in the world won't do anything except give some of us catharsis for a bit.

          To expand - broad tent movements (because let's be honest, libs did join) have unfocused messaging that lets libs signal boost the ones that they want, such as 'defund the police'. If the protests were to be repeated, there has to be a direct central message that does not get compromised, something only realistically achievable with a central organisation in charge - say, a vanguard party or something. 'Abolish the Police' doesn't get watered down to 'Defund the Police' if nobody is waving a 'Defund the Police' sign around in the first place. in minecraft
