If an action is not intended to block, shut down, or stop some form of power in a real sense, it is useless or worse. Boycotts, work stoppages, blocking buildings, MA groups, etc need to be the floor for effective action at this point. Clever signs will not cut it.
Protests and marches are great. But this will take withdrawal of labour and forcible resistance. I'm not being self-righteous. I live in Britain, where we are - at best - passive in the face of our society being hollowed out from within. But true things are true.
