Historically if peaceful protests are ignored long enough, the protests cease to be peaceful. That almost always backfires against the protestors because it’s so easy for the media to turn public opinion against them. The average citizen isn’t willing to sacrifice their peace and security unless there is an immediate tangible benefit to them.
We need a new tactic. Something the powers that be don’t have an answer for already. I’m from Chicago and during the pandemic there was a phenomenon called flash mobs that the police struggled to address. Large groups of people would arrange online a time and location, commit crime, and flee before authorities could react. Sometimes they would show up, beat up and rob whoever was on the street, and disappear onto public transportation. Other times they would hit high value corporate targets like the Gucci or Prada stores. Dozens of people would rush in, seal everything not nailed down, and escape.
I have to wonder hypothetically what would happen if this tactic was applied to banks. The money is insured by the government, so the public wouldn’t be losing anything. But the public HATES the banks and wouldn’t offer them sympathy. It would be even better if some of the stolen money was redistributed to the needy. Just wishful thinking on my part.
