If you want to subvert media control, online is the way to do it.

It's nice that they're doing this, but several of the people associated with this event are elderly and I think as a political strategy street marches aren't viable right now. It's outdated as a tactic.

This can be useful in other ways- mostly networking.

The only sympathetic press they'll get if they get harassed is from right wing media in the U.S.

Street demonstrations now:

-Thousands of people peacefully marching in the streets-

Media Corporations instead all continuously broadcast a 15 second clip of a scuffle between 2 drunks outside a nearby bar where one gets a bloody nose. The cops arrives afterward but by then the two had already shaken hands and went home.

Headlines are "Extremist DEATH March Immediately Turns Violent - Law enforcement intervene but say that they were helpless against the maelstrom of political radicals as BLOOD is Shed"
