hero?  my how that words been diluted

the revolution will never be

I think you may be underestimating the weight of propaganda and counter propaganda, especially at this point in time where molding the public's view of the Rulers is the main battleground. Action can only follow awareness.

If there was a way to anonymously donate to him, I'd support a "Phase II" where he started making actual municipal quality signs from aluminum plate and the proper 3M glass bead retroreflective paints, and bolted them to random light and traffic poles.  >:D

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Update to this:

NYPD says they have arrested the guy doing it.

I'm likely to contribute to bail and defense funds.

Insert "SUSPECTED" before "TERRORIST" on the sign.

The fleeing family reminds me of the "Caution Illegal Aliens running across an 8 lane interstate" that I remember seeing in So. Cal.
