We can argue about effectiveness and strategy, but certanly not size. This year we've had two mass protests of over 1,000,000 participants. The Women's March was 1.5 million, and the March for Our Lives protest was 1 to 2 million. The women's march in 2017 was 3 to 4 million.
Need more context? She was sitting normally, received a text, then threw the sign.
Yep, now we see just how susceptible people on the left are to this type of thinking as well.
And lol at them bringing up the protests in Bangkok, which resulted in a military take over of government that still hasn't ended, and they continue to "delay" elections because the guy in charge doesn't want to give up power. Gg, protesters! Someone googled "mass protests" and forgot to read the whole article...
Yep. Google "Obama devil sign" or "Clinton devil sign" and see all these collections of photos of politicians making hand signals for the Illuminati. This whole thing is ridiculous and makes us look crazy.
Oh for the love of god. Are you seriously referencing the fact that protesting isn't guaranteed to immediately solve problems as an excuse for standing by and watching?
They were literally provided as examples of protesting working, so...yeah?

Do you think white supremacists wear shirts that say "Hello I am a white supremacist" on them? The reaction to Charlottesville showed them that they have to play a more quiet strategy. Dogwhistles are a thing for a reason, bigots love secret handshakes and ways for them to recognize each other.
They were provided as examples of the scale necessary for protests to have the impact necessary to bring about change, which those protests did.
No they just do stupid hand signals that everyone knows about lol ok
It's video, not a still photograph taken of a precise moment in a motion. Now I'm not familiar with white supremecist hand jestures (could be signaling "ok" to someone for all I know), but she looks at her phone, awkwardly makes the hand signal, even adjusting her thumb when it doesn't line up right with her finger.
In Thailand? I don't think it would have been any worse if they hadn't, that's for sure. But I'm sure that neither you or I have a deep enough knowledge of Thai politics to answer that. I was literally AT the protests, though (not protesting). Nothing like a bit of martial law (brought on by the protests) to make you think about things in a different way, though.
Well, she worked on enacting a racist policy. so.
It's actually very important to me seeing otherwise rational, intelligent people taken in by the dumbest conspiracies.
I watched the video, and this is a silly take. Sorry, not seeing it. Again, this just makes us all look like nutcases.
I did nothing of the sort.
All the more reason to dismiss this stupid "secret (but not actually secret cause the fucking NYT wrote about it lol) hand sign" bullshit. Y'all sound like QAnon nuts and it's sad.
It's a description of what happened. Don't think it's a "secret" signal, just trolling.
Yeah, because you were being a fucking dick about it. It's fine if you want to disagree with what people see plain as day.
This whole line of thinking is yikes af. We need to be better than this.
Are you stupid or just willfully dense? The reason why they use hand signals like this is for plausible deniability. It's so that gullible people (ie, yourself) end up ignoring or arguing in favor of it.
