But it isn't contrary to their conditioning. Part of the conditioning is "anyone who does anything 'disruptive' is not welcome, this is a 'peaceful' protest" which means that the bourgeoisie have erected guardrails and told the population they must stay within them, and the vast majority of the people in the No Kings protests are not only fully compliant to stay within those guard rails, they will actively prevent anyone else from going outside of them. Many of the people in these protests will do the cop's job for them by making absolutely sure nothing "gets out of hand."
Not sufficiently, or the frankly pathetic state of leftist organizing in the US would not be what it is. I am in agreement with those who say that these marches are an opportunity to go out and organize, and activists should be doing that. But the point is to radicalize more people, not to participate in the show, which itself really does not scare the rulers because it's still all well within the rules!
