Kind of a wacky looking crowd (love the guy who gives the camera the finger with both hands).
Are all the people in the background just spectators? I think so but I'm not sure. It all looks like surrealist theater.

What on earth do these fools think they are accomplishing?

I was wondering if some of those in the background were spectators as well. It was a bit of a circus, so I can see how it would attract some attention. Absolutely bizarre.

The good news is that your grandfather’s advice hold truer today than ever- “actions speak louder than words”. How you can help right now is through your actions.

Cut your cable. Stop visiting their websites, giving them the ad revenue they crave. Dismiss their narratives, discard their attempt to influence and control you. You have that power, the power to ignore them.

And most importantly, spread this message.
