Fun fact: Students didn’t really organize or do anything: the D.C. rally had been permitted for that size months before Parkland. Actually, they can’t organize much, since teens don’t have money and can’t rent cars, buses, or book hotel rooms without their parents. It was paid for by outside financiers for their own reasons. And so unsurprisingly, the media teen march was a normal event, officially 200,000, with majority adults, not kids. But truth hardly makes good press, does it?
So are we hoi polloi not doing anything, or is it that the only people acting are oligarchs for their own interests? We polloi are broke, working, and don’t have money for super-fun-time hotel vacations unless the Koch brothers give it to us, with $500 day paid protest ads on Craigslist. Changes the perception of what’s going on, doesn’t it?
