edit:

reactionaries in the comments, look at that. Not surprising since this place downvotes everything related to queer and disabled people, I suggest yall find somewhere else to hang out. I got a discord server if anyone is interested

The point of protests is a threat to the state, and to wear down its reserves of resources and normality by taking up space and not allowing it to do things. If there is no threat of more actions, like even continued protesting, why would the state choose fundamental systematic change over losing a small bit of resources?

We are in the middle of a pandemic and so many protests are happening without a significant portion of people wearing masks. This makes these protests self defeating. Continued action won't happen in the moment when everyone gets sick, and fucking over anybody willing to protest with long covid means we get even less protesting in the future. There might be a small threat of more action, but that is far overshadowed.

The state is actively benefiting from protests right now because so many of yall are ableist and eugenicist. Even working alongside these people is counter-productive. If we don't exclude reactionaries from our action they will take us down with them.
