~no one else shows up, riot gear police and swat teams take you down~
"Aww fuck, guess I didn't consider the material conditions of ordinary folk before I started my insurgency cosplay."

People respond more positively to messages that confirm their relative privilege and obscure the need for radical and risky action. Shocker.
