They intend to “clog up” the judicial system by having their protesters be brought up on charges regularly, ignorant of the fact that the government can crack down harder on activists, it can expand the capacity of its judicial apparatus, and it can pass more severe legislation to allow for legal proceedings to be much more summary than they currently are.

Wait this reminds me of this quote:

“We should also wonder how our appreciation of the sophistication and totality of the propaganda apparatus and its ongoing repression squares with the peculiar kind of “critical” media that does make it to wide circulation, usually to universal praise from both the mainstream and the counter-cultural “left.” Women getting constantly raped and murdered in film is deemed a protest against the patriarchy. Black people getting mauled by dogs, the most horrific traumas in their history ritualistically re-enacted in high-definition — this is an assault on white supremacy. Disaster movies insist that the end of the world is inevitable, that we are all complicit in ecological devastation for not doing our part recycling cans — this is environmental critique. Triumphant, handsome, charismatic, “alpha” men climb to the top of their respective empires of crime in highest-budget four-season shows and are awarded the highest accolades in their profession — this passes for an indictment of capitalism.”

On second thoughts, this is a good note for myself…
