Russia                 My Not-So-Solitary Pickets        28 October 2025


   A random thought that came to me today: even if it seems like my
   actions back in Russia didn't lead to any visible result (the war is
   still going on), that's only how it appears.  Every time I protested
   and people saw it (in person, online), it connected them through me.

   If someone couldn't directly and openly express their disagreement
   with what was happening, they had an alternative: share a post on
   social media about my picket with the Mir card, say, which
   deliberately highlighted the absurdity and ridiculousness of
   everything.  Or discuss my other pickets and statements.

   I was thinking about something like this earlier today, I think when
   I was posting something on the fediverse.  That people see there's
   this sort of opinion, which means I can have it too, I'm not alone.
   So my solitary pickets were never truly solitary.
