I really enjoyed it. I wasn't politically aware at all for the early to mid 2010's, especially internationally, so learning about EU Maidan, the so called Arab Spring, Brazil's uprising, and other movements during the era was helpful.

Even though it discusses how people with good intentions lose control of large movements to forces of reaction in many cases I still came away feeling more hopeful than JM. You discover how these movements can inspire people and with the right organization and planning it's possible to create a better society through them

And how do you make this a protest chant? There has to be some concise expression to allow a more nuanced conversation to develop, and I struggle to find one better than saying you support the resistance

Real "Why can't defund the police actually say what they want instead of some crazy anarchy chant?" vibes you get from liberals. It's supposed to get people questioning and open conversation on the topic, not be a manifesto of exactly what is to be done

For real, instead of just side eyeing their friends and being like "wow such violent antisemitism, amirite?" they could have taken the opportunity to explain why 10/7 happened, the reality of the uprising, and why violent resistance can be effective. Out here posting L's
