You can not defeat a beast by using as a weapon the same energy that sustains it.

People power exercised the old fashioned way is just an invitation to tyranny and beatings.

Why bring 1 million people into the heart of a city, directing all of that energy into a funnel of condensed space so that it can be pounded with a different, stronger energy?

Instead, divide that 1 million into 10,000 groups of 100, disperse them through the ten thousand intersections of a major city, and bring it completely to a standstill.  10,000 surge mobs of 100.

Everything about the internet is about connectivity over distances, about coordination at a remove, so why protest the old 16th century way?

Massive crowds are great photo ops, but that is exactly what Power is expecting.

Assemble, disassemble, dissipate, evaporate, form again when necessary.  We hear of the Fog of War and what it causes.  The Fog is always present, and, in a sense,  always wins.

Forget crowds; embrace the Fog.

Original Message Spain's imminent Citizen Safety Law isn't exactly protester-friendly -- you can face stiff fines just for daring to disobey police peacefully, let alone holding a protest without telling the government. The activists of Hologramas por la Libertad have found a clever workaround for that, however. As the name suggests, they're using holographic protesters to challenge the new legal restrictions
