Click Here If You Agree With Me But Plan On Doing Nothing

This essay at Lenin and this one at the New Yorker are two nice variations on a theme, which is that unorganized and/or passive protest works within the context of negative freedom but not positive. Put another way, a protest can say "yes" or say "no" to something but try creating another option and suddenly, motive matters!
