Progressive Politics

Yeah all that is kind of a moot point anyway when there's 15 flock cameras tracking you all the way from home to protest location.

But i also think it depends on the aims of a protest. If it's to gather a large crowd and march/chant/just be a presence I don't think worrying about being identified is with too much since like you said it's kind of the point. If there goal is a little more subsersive I can see taking those precautions. I've recently read in to a bit of the Hong Kong protests and one of the things they did that was effective was to constantly group up and erect barricades etc and then sort of disband and meet up elsewhere. So the sort of "good trouble" that people might feel the need to cause in the near future as things progress could definitely require a bit more OpSec.
