Activists dumped bags of manure under The Ritz’ Christmas tree in protest against the “obscenely wealthy”. Footage shared by new protest group Take Back Power on Wednesday (3 December) shows three protesters loitering in the Mayfair hotel’s lobby before they pulled out plastic bags filled with dung and emptied their contents on the floor. The guards then rushed in to pull the protesters away. The activists also protested outside the hotel, unfurling banners which read 'Inequality is s***”. Take Back Power says it’s a new “non-violent civil resistance group” which is calling for the government to “tax extreme wealth”.,
So then the poor laborers working there have to clean up manure? Not the brightest idea.
“We can’t do protest because the ultra-wealthy pay the working class to clean it up. I am very enlightened.”
How very smart and centrist of you.
You literally can’t think of better ways to protest that wouldn’t involve people probably making less money than you picking up feces? That is sad and why this group and those you support will make no progress.
The rich will absolutely get the message. If you always insist on being polite, you’ll achieve nothing. The corporate media are very hard at work to paint any protest that’s not timidly compliant as terrorism. We need to counter that narrative.
Using poor people as your pawns to make some edgy point using anima feces is worthy of a class war in itself. You’re not helping the poor. You’re helping the middle class.
They won’t have to if they strike.
That’s a crazy opinion. So just use them as your shit cleaning pawns? Such a privileged mindset.
No, if they strike the owners will have to clean it up.
That’s such a privileged point of view. The people who are affected by this did not consent to being part of their shitty protest. They very likely could not afford (in more ways than one) to go on strike.
But if they strike, the poor workers won’t get paid!!! \s
We’re neighbors with Sarah Huckabee Sanders and lots of folks let their dogs use the lawn outside her gates as a toilet - and I’m not saying I have encouraged my dog, or taken photos of it, or made it my Christmas card last year - but it’s been a topic, “should we all be letting our dogs shit on her lawn, since her lawn crew cleans it up?” Yeah, we should. But it was a good thought exercise.
So what you’re saying is it does nothing because she has people clean it up for her anyways. Nice.
I assure you it’s been a topic in their house, especially since they use those front gates to receive people in tuxes and ballgowns.
Also people use the light poles across the street to post nasty paper memes about Sarah, sometimes they get left up for weeks because they’re angled so the staff can’t see them.
So effective
Please detail me a protest that disrupts the rich that cannot be cleaned up by the Rich’s employees/servants/serfs

We can’t expect god to do all the work.
Doesn’t have to be cow shit tho. There’s no foresight or empathy. You’re just making these poor laborers clean up after your protest that does nothing except make you feel good about yourself thinking you’re modern day Rosa Parks.
