I went to the last Chicago one... And while there is some solace in the feeling of being there and seeing a massive crowd of others opposing this fascist movement, I really couldn't shake the feeling that it feels like a glorified parade.

The route is planned out, the police cooperate to close the roads, everyone marches together and chants and then goes home.

Peaceful is one thing but a planned out disruption that's barely a disruption is just... Are we honestly doing much?
