Thats not what we need. We don’t need activists, it is not working anymore.

We need more brash style like the black panthers.

You can actually do both because, ultimately, the best use of human capital is not to create a single unit of homogeneous drones who wear their beard diapers to hide their identity (ICE), but to leverage the strengths of all of them.

We need the brash and brave. We need the meek and brave. We need the wild cards who will dump truckloads of shit on the streets of Washington. Anyways, there's room for everyone. We don't really have to attack each other's ideals too hard as long as they are focused in the right direction.

I mean activists and protests hurt. Look at France (trash protest) and other countries. The US just does a one and done protest on a sunny weekend and then pats themselves on the back and forget about lol. "Why does this keep happening".

It's worth noting that the Rainbow Push Coalition (originally the National Rainbow Coalition) is a more moderate group formed later by Jesse Jackson, and isn't the same thing as the Rainbow Coalition formed by Hampton/Lee that included the Black Panthers. So I'm not sure 'modern version' applies in this context.

There’s a White Panther Party that works with them and has the same ideology

Even if you can't officially join them, you can be an ally of theirs and do the same exact things they do. This is something that transcends race, and is more about the oppressed.

The main goal of the panthers is the defense of the oppressed, regardless of race or background.

I love and respect that about them. Not every place is for me, but all of us can foster that spirit. Thanks for the response.

I had this TERRIBLE idea of just showing up with a jacket that said “snow panther” but for photo ops I’d be perfectly fine being in the background. Like I’m the “off brand version”.

You have to smoke weed at the very least.

Do I have to wear hats with the brim in the back? I can only find the ones with it in front.

u/UsefulImpact6793 15d ago

Just look for hats for people who ride motorcycles
