Distributed as in non centralized. Many people feel like there is nothing they can do to contribute to meaningful change, especially with how spread out Americans are, but surely there has got to be something.

Using the trend of blocking traffic as an example, I think a coordinated effort to not just block a highway in one city, but to block state routes and other arteries in many places would be more effective. Instead of one city having bad traffic for a day, it would be many towns and it would be harder to dismiss as a local problem if people across the states are engaging.

    Everyone, DRIVE FUCKING SLOW.

    “C’mon, that’ll just piss myself off.” Do you think the French living under nazi occupation wouldn’t love to dangle their bumper in front of every German driver that comes along?

    Do 58 in a 65.
    Do 41 in a 45.

    Don’t worry, because when I see you on the road driving slow, I’ll join you for solidarity. I’ll keep a safe distance behind, just attempting to navigate international waters in the South China Sea drive as slow as we legally fucking want.

    Stick to the rule of “Stay to the right”. Don’t break traffic laws. Provide no incriminating behavior beyond “slower than normal”.

    Let the rest of the bastards deal with it. Those bastards, whose privilege blesses them with the worst part of their day being “shitty traffic,” who then arrive to the office and bitch about it to the other old ladies who share that same privilege, ALL OF WHOM proceeded to wax poetic about the nostalgia of their gun-laden childhoods the morning after another elementary classroom was shot up, yet who didn’t acknowledge THE SHOOTING amongst each other.
