An article that shows that it isn't all negative.

Paged!!! The cloaks.

Soon to be paid fake protests in NYC. Why cant they go to texas or something

They dont want to get shot lol

Good morning, filths

I did quite a bit of protesting during the Viet Nam war era. It was great fun.

Being retired I have quite a bit of time on my hands. Where do I sign up to be a paid protester? Do they give travel and hotel allowances? I'm so over sleeping on floors between demonstrations.

Here at most they pay a (very cheap) sandwitch and around $10.

I personally dont think it is the best kind of deal.

Aside that most that sctually accept it are really shady.

I suppose if you consider it, you also have passive smoke of weed

Yesterday I watched the breakdown of Taxi Driver, Scarface, Django, Inglorius ***, Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead.

I also watched the breakdown of a brazillian movie Bacurau.

The last one is awkward. It is like a Quarantino-like, but feeling like a poor wannabe. Im really not fond of most brazillian cultural works, as most just are really biased toward politics.

Btw, Walking Dead reference is Crossed?

I've never been to a protest, they would have to pay quite a bit for me to stand in this Texas heat.

maybe being reclassified to salary was a mistake...

I protested in Texas for free. I don't think the women and children locked in cages out in that heat were being paid either though, but maybe I'm a sucker.

Its no cooler in the inland northwest this time of year. That's why I want a travel allowance as well as pay to protest.

Draylo you STILL haven't told me where I apply for those paid protestor positions.

The great thing about paid protesting is the people who pay are often bad guys, and it's not even illegal to do it. For instance who are paying for these current "protests", Mexican drug cartels angry about Trump addressing their billion dollar drug and people smuggling business? corporations who love that cheap slave labour of illegal immigrants who have no rights?

No surely it's actually the good guys, cause it's always the good guys.

I've got paid(kinda) for joining political activity in the past. Obviously they do it in a very low profile way. You have to be activately participate in those political groups to know where the opportunity is.

Once the leaders in those groups invited a few people including myself then paid for hotel+city tour+food fee for a 2 day trip just to attend their political activity in a different city. And he let another activist kid in the group use his credit card to buy whatever he wants during the trip. Must feel good to have a close relationship with those rich political leaders, wherever their money came from.

That being said, participating in political activity can be quite dangerous these days, so I pretty much stopped participating in political activity on streets at all.

Sometimes the best payment of joining those political groups isn't just a sandwich, but extra benefit from the political relationship in the future.

For example, in the political groups that I was in, they have very close relationship with the government. So whenever the government is outsourcing works with a budget I always received the information first within the group. Therefore, have an advantage to get the business before other competitors.

This kind of benefit with government relationship is immeasurable. This is also why people who do business will do everything they can to build a good relationship with government official. When you have a door that leads to the government, money comes.

This is just another way to say you sold your body?

For a sandwich and a soda

For connections.
