Hey, can you at the same time update us on the dictators playbook?

I only ask because it seems to be several chapters ahead
What dictator?
Try to be serious
The POTUS who can’t make good on any of his campaign promises? That would kind of be the opposite of a dictator in my book.

Sounds like a real peaceful and reasonable place
Anyone here attend any Occupy protests? I went to a couple and I think I'm seeing the same underlying problem - do the protesters have a general idea of what they want? As in - what would make them go home? It's hard to figure out the directions when you don't know the destination.

I get the feeling that BLM has a pretty solid direction, but CHOP hurts the cause, as people will lump in all protesters right now together, and then they can just dismiss them all together.

Occupy at its heart was a good protest.
Why do banks get bailed out for practically stealing from the people and then get bailed out by the same people?
Distribution of wealth was also logically wrapped in there but yes, there needs to be a list of things/demands and not just angry people disorganized causing chaos/disruption which won’t get you anywhere.
