I've heard the pen is mightier than the sword.

I guess that would depend on the perspective.
Anarchism is penned, but dominated in no uncertain measure by the sword.

If there isn't a blacbloc, I tend to stay towards the edges of protests.
In the bloc, you know the deal, absolute freedom in return for one roll of the dice.
Inside the bloc, you rule you.
Were that feeling to be penned, and read broadly, the world would be a different place, imo.

Crowds are good for getting ideas out to many people.
Signs are important influencers.
IF it doesn't fit on a protest sign the odds of mass adoption go down.

If one's utopia requires armed thugs to persist, it sucks.™
If you are not thinking outside the box, your thoughts are in a box.™
Rule by force is the disease, who and how are symptoms.™
All laws favor the rich.™
When society enslaves you, antisocialism is duty.™

I've got more signs than crowds near me.
Feel free to use those, if you are near any crowds.
