Have you ever played chess without Kings?

You play the King like a Queen. The winner is the player with the last chess piece(s) standing.
There are a bunch of no-kings variants, if I recall. (And a few with a King that plays normally, but isn't the winning condition.)

Apparently the Pro Palestinians are going to take over the protests and Soros is funding them.

New York City organizers embedded in the global intifada to destroy the state of Israel moved Friday to join the controversial "No Kings" protests planned for today, despite the peace deal reached between Israel and Hamas.

"UAW Labor for Palestine" and "NYC Labor for Palestine" quietly posted a call-to-action for the "Palestine Labor Solidarity Contingent" to meet Saturday at 11 a.m. at Duarte Square between Grand Street and Canal Street in lower Manhattan and then flow into the #NoKings protests planned to protest President Donald Trump.

Billionaire donor George Soros is reportedly funding many of the organizations leading the "No Kings" protests, like Indivisible, whose co-founders, Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin, received a $3 million two-year grant last year from Soros’s Open Society Foundations for "social welfare activities." Details about the "Palestine Contingent" weaving into the "No Kings" protests raises new questions about the way big Democratic donors like Soros are funneling nonprofit dollars into a professional protest industry that is fractious, divisive and partisan, potentially in violation of tax and nonprofit laws.

I love how wacko this is.

Its a great conspiracy that the left wing Jewish money, aka Soros, is now paying protesters to stop the No Kings protests from being about trump to make them about the genocide. So you think Jewish money is secretly campaigning to turn the US against Israel?

cool

The one I went to was larger than I thought, which was nice, since I didn't expect that given where I was.

These rallies are interesting, but I don't think they really have any impact on voter sentiment.

The American Left seems to like performative acts.
This is the tactic the Administration should have taken, instead of flailing about with flopsweat.
Just lean into the whole "it's all meaningless and silly" instead of the "It's a Soros-funded anti-American hate rally!" bs.
I guess they really want an excuse for violence but it should have been obvious for a while it was backfiring.
This isn't black bloc stuff, it's boring basic Americans not liking something.

On a superficial level you are right, of course, there is only an indirect connection between rally size in general and voting.
That was something I've had to explain to Sanders and Trump voters repeatedly in the past.
Rallies are important, they are useful. They forge connections, help morale, and display a certain amount of political power in organizing things, but they aren't votes and that's a separate lever of the equation.
The real demonstration here is that this is the second one, and they still got a big turnout. It's easy to do one big splashy rally, using that to build and maintain momentum is hard.

Taking the approach of "these are useless, the government doesn't care and they don't really have any impact on voters" is a strong tactic to use in many cases.

Yes, we are familiar with your lectures on democracy, protests and human rights.

Harris put herself back in the news with a book where she admits she lost votes for backing Israel. That's not going over well with the crowds, even if she sort of admitting its genocide.

You're against protests now?
Siding with Wyatt and his "they are useless" propaganda?

That seems like a bit of a wild turn to take, just to attack me.

Or is your argument that protests directly track to votes because vibes are vibes and fuck reality?

Now where would you come up with a crazy idea like that?
There is no logical connection between Harris losing the election over protests against genocide and declaring that means I'm against protests.
Is the straw man factory a little out of practice?

The protests were enough to be part of Harris' loss.
The No Kings protests might be even bigger.
All the power to them, may they make the GOP quake and the dems wake up.

Protests don't track directly to voting behavior.
This isn't controversial, it's well known.

That you wanted to make that statement about Harris is your own pathology.

Of course.
Protests show some level of sentiment.
They aren't one-to-one voting behavior.

Again.
This isn't a hard concept for anyone to grasp if they aren't committed to not grasping it.

The No Kings protests might be even bigger.
At the US scale, they've been much bigger as single-day events.
Internationally, probably not.

Mind you, the best way to look at a protest movement isn't as a single-day event.

Ultimately this goes to prove that the left and the right are a hoax perpetrated by puppet masters to divide us across beliefs, religion, race and gender. Because there’s more of us and very few of them (the elitist sociopaths and psychopaths who try to brainwash, divide, and control us). It’s not about left and right. It’s a psyop and a government controlled illusion.
This is about us vs the people in the highest eschelons of power.
Those with Buddha nature or Christ Consciousness (YOU), vs those who use news and media to divide and control you (the Saturnists, the children of the Demiurge, and the children of Mamon, Molech, and Belial).

They teach women to hate men and men to hate women, black to hate white and white to hate black, Jew to hate gentile and Muslim too hate Christian. And the scary thing about is that these alternate beings look just like us (black white male female etc).

And the only way to notice them is through their lack of empathy in kind (profiting from war, poverty, pollution, war, consumerism, human trafficking and suffering).

please look them up. They’re called the Sebatean Frankists, and The Children of Belial).

Dude, Harris lost because she‘s unlikeable, stupid, and was part of the administration that saw the greatest decline in American living standards since the Great Depression. In

I didn't say they tracked directly to voting behaviour.
Just as I know you don't want to acknowledge the connection between supporting the genocide and losing.

Of course.

This is the second protest and is much larger.
Its also been accompanied by the frog army and ICE protests.
We will see where it goes.

But she was up against an elitist pedo from the deep state, guilty of fraud and a convicted felon.
The guy only has 37% approval now.

Thats what they said about the Vietnam protests.

These things are only going to escalate. Bounties are now being placed on ICE agents and they are being doxxed. We are getting closer to real organized resistance like the 70's groups. I see bombings on ice facilities coming.

Especially when the economy finally tanks.

Yes, we will.
And even you aren't so deluded as to think that a large turnout at these protests means everyone is voting for Democrats now.

And how convenient is the timing that governments want access to our phones without any warning in the name of "protecting children" and have oversight over what people say online.
Next year Android is going to tighten how things are run on their OS and their app store.

All this is a big setup for government to take more control, impeccable, coincidental timing for sure.

Especially the USA govt, now controlled completely by the GOP. Using ICe, the largest funded LE now, regularly breaking the 1st, 4th amendments. Oh and Trump looking into breaking the 2nd as well. With Palintr getting the surveillance contracts from them.

Want me to continue?
