"There are four boxes to be used in the defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and cartridge (or ammo). Please use in that order."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_boxes_of_liberty

They've all but taken the soap box, we have "free speech zones" to "safely" protest out of sight, and when we ignore those the media either doesn't cover it, or gives the most unflattering description, taking the side of corporations (see: Amazon strikes framed in "how will this affect your Christmas delivery. A.k.a: be mad at the employees)

They've taken the ballot box with Citizens United literally paving the way for what Elmo Muskrat is doing now: buying elections. We can't elect the people we'd want to elect.

They've taken the jury through the elimination of the teaching of the concept of jury nullification (but also doesn't apply in this specific situation) and have taken the Judiciary through ratfuckery (see: Mitch McTurtle refusing to seat any SCOTUS judges when it's a Democrat picking them)

So all we're left with is the "cartridge" or, ammo box.

They force this on us but "thankfully" at least some of us won't just let us keep getting steamrolled. :/

As to how this could be a "movement." It isn't. It's one person choosing the ammo box because like the rest of us he felt hopeless and took the only action he felt could achieve anything at all. (It did: see blue cross blue shield reversing their anesthesia charging plan right after the shooting) There was also the "renewal" of the conversation about healthcare which all but vanished. Check the "issues" from exit polling, healthcare barely showed up. Whenever healthcare was discussed previously it was in the framing of "people love their private insurance!" that being told to us by the media. Now the discussion is "maybe there's a larger issue if people from left to right are all supportive of what Luigi did."
