I haven't and can't march anyway, but I firmly believe that technological innovation offers far more hope of changing the paradigm than waving placards and being beaten by thugs.
Mao said that real power comes from the barrel of a gun. He's been obsolete for a while now. What he probably should have said is that technology that enables individuals to effect their security against oppression is real power - but he was intent on oppression, and guns were the bleeding edge of security tech at the time.
Not anymore. Extant power is not so much emitted from guns, as banks. Not bullets but credits keep us in thrall. The concatenation of crypto, 3D printing, AI, mesh networks, and much, much more is making corporations, banks, and wars obsolete.
I don't want to beat up the thugs. I want to make them powerless, forever.
It is. Have you heard of the upcoming March on the Pentagon?

War is the enemy, and it's obsolete.
Thank you!
