I don't think it's down to leadership more than it is, resources, connections, mobilization, and the majority being on your side. There is massive support being garnered across the country on this issue that hasn't been given to BLM or DAPL. You've got government agencies, politicians, and entire industries lending support right now.
Agreed! But I think both the BLM and DAPL movements need visible leaders. IMO, BLM became less effective because there was no leadership to push back against the " all lives matter " and " blue lives matter " deflection. There needs to be some sort of centralized leadership to set an adgenda going forward in the future.
I hope you're having fun getting your reading comprehension upLets be honest. This will fizzle and collapse like every single other liberal protest movement. Have fun while it lasts
So why are you? Again so far in scale and scope the current protests going on are much bigger than OWS ever was. Even then there was much ambiguity about OWS that made it unsuccessful as in it's implementation and what it set out to accomplish. I can't speak anymore on the current protests because like you said it has only been going on for a little over a week.

And yet you don't see a leader anywhere.
You on point today(except for in the footy thread).It's been hard given all the usual corruption in many countries but ever since the AU formed in 2001,I'd say things have slowly gotten much better in terms of development and even political stability imo. Just a week or 2 ago,West African states exercised the will of the people and forced out the dictator in Gambia after he lost the elections and wouldn't let go of power. Feels like there's been more successful transitions of power throughout the continent recently and I'm hoping that the stability that comes from that will help countries and their economies grow and even take advantage of globalization instead of being taken advantage of by great powers like usual.
It really would be great to some of the talent that could be leaving the States over the next few years going back home to help their countries out. Africa is way too loaded with an abundance of natural resources for none of the rewards to ever go back to Africans

what happens in the footy thread stays in the footy thread lmaooYea I don't agree with the need for centralized leadership as long as there's backing from all angles like you mentioned,the former is usually the easiest way to kill a movement imo.
It's a way different story in that thread

It be like that sometimesFunny, my boy is from Philly but works in Jersey
But yea, our government screwed us over. Nonproifts had to take out loans to pay bills, schools shut down until money came in, people lost jobs, etc. And these same people got reelected, some was because they didn't have anyone running against them. Same crap on the national level. No way Toomey should've been reelected, dude is a spineless coward and a snake. Our budget right now isn't gon balance so we'll see what happens come June.
How's things w/ yall budget? My boy said Chunky boy screwed yall over as well, hiring freezes in some fields and all that.

Lets be honest. This will fizzle and collapse like every single other liberal protest movement. Have fun while it lasts
