If we're scared, then everyone else is fucked, right? Like, so these guys were supposed to have, they've been marching across this bridge. the Elizabeth Bridge. And the Orban government was like, oh, it's Tuesday. You're going to try and do this again. We're not going to give you the permit. So instead of marching across the bridge, they start jaywalking across the street.

And then the cops were like, yeah, we're going to arrest. There's like tons, hundreds of riot police there with helmets and tear gas. And they're like, you can't jaywalk across the street.

And they cross that bridge and they sit on the bridge and And they're there and the police come up and eventually they have to be moved, but they get it done.

And I think, I'm not saying that we have to categorize or think of our work as Sisyphean, but like the joy of it, the joy of trying to fight for a better thing is like, we need to bring that back, I think, to the American sort of protest movement and the opposition.
