"No Kings" isn't a distraction, it's very tangible popular opposition, and they're certainly not in favor of the war?

It muddies the waters by focusing on divisive issues like immigration enforcement and de-emphasizing the war, preventing what could be a unified left-and-right antiwar movement.

Plain anti-war protests could draw significant support across the political spectrum, so divisive issues are inserted as wedges. Same thing that happened in the 60's, when the anti-war movement went from a coat-and-tie affair to a laurel canyon one.

If you think the No Kings movement is preventing a unified front against the war, you haven't been paying attention to the political discourse in the US since the rise of the Tea Party 15+ years ago.

There will be no public rapprochement between the right and the left pretty much anywhere in the world.

They are fed by entirely different media machines.

If you like, its a coordination problem where the various groups no longer have the commons of a shared reality to coordinate through.

It's not just the "media machines". These two sides have completely different moral values.

		Both sides are completely retarded imho. The leftists are so self-righteous that I detest them a little more.

There is no anti-war movement on the right. The only time there is, is when a Right-winger is trying to win an election. Once said right winger inevitably starts a war, the pom poms come out.

		If everyone just noticed that they have to vote left the world would be a paradise /S

They don't even mention the country Iran or the war by name, because it's a DNC op and the DNC also supports war in Iran. They don't mention Israel or Gaza, because the main organizers and funders are Zionist. They have no concrete demands. It's a distraction, a release valve, controlled opposition.
