I'm having an aneurysm reading these comments. Between the people confusing(or purposefully getting wrong) the use of the phrase "harm reduction" as being in relation to it's use in election/voting discourse and people criticizing protest tactics, I think we need to refocus here, especially on that(in my opinion) bigger issue that the comic brings up, in that privatization is being wielded as a weapon of the state. Perhaps we put a pin on that, and when we're in a better position and we can advocate for stronger legal protections for protesting even on private property(rather idealistic and naive I know).

when we’re in a better position

Been waiting for that for about... 20 years now. Are we any closer? Seems like we're farther away than ever.
