Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Can't second this enough. If you're in the US and call yourself a comrade, you are morally obligated to protest this. Despite mainstream portrayal, the US anti-war movement was key to ending the Vietnam invasion. It didn't stop under Richard Nixon because he was a peaceloving Republican.

It wasn't all peace and love either.

This city and the military machine it had aimed at us won't permit us to protest... Therefore we must move out of this park in groups throughout the city and turn this excited, overheated military machine against itself. Let us make sure that if blood is going to flow, let it flow all over this city. If gas is going to be used, let that gas come down all over Chicago... If we are going to be disrupted and violated, let this whole stinking city be disrupted and violated.
