I feel like the American left wing movement is so lacking in self-esteem that they are afraid of even facing the chuds. There used to be a time when communists were so confident in their ideology that they sincerely believed that they could get the rest of the world follow them. But nowadays, it’s the opposite, it’s like they’re afraid they themselves would get converted by the chuds or something if they talk to them.

A lot of the criticisms here that's directed towards the pathetic bad anti-war rally is motivated by complete insecurity that the good anti-war rally is going to be as pathetic (or perhaps even more pathetic) than the bad anti-war rally. Yes, the bad anti-war rally is filled with reactionary grifters, LaRouchites, and a US psyop officer, but would we really have multiple 100+-comments posts if everyone was secure that the good anti-war rally would draw in 60k people? Or would we just have a single post on /c/the_dunk_tank laughing at how the bad anti-war rally are full of reactionary clowns who can't even organize a decently sized rally?

I saw footage of the bad anti-war rally and it's about what I would expect: a crowd of like 3k people huddled around to hear a bunch of speakers with bad audio speaking outdoors. Like, this shit here is what people here are freaking out, some loser grifter crying about how the audio sucks? I've been to Bernie and union rallies with at least 10 times the amount of people these clowns managed to rope into their shitty rally.

Surely the good anti-war rally could do better than this.
