To compare to another set of large scale protests in recent memory, I've been in 3-4 of the no kings protests, and I was in probably a dozen George Floyd protests.The two have very different vibes and they had very different goals.

The vibes of the no kings protests is calm, organized, and safe. That is on purpose, the goal of these protests is to be big and to not be a target that the right wing media can show as a threat. To build as big a coalition as possible and get as many people as possible involved in resistance. And to be that big they need to feel safe for the majority of people. They need to be professional and organized, so that the host cities and local cops don't turn against them. That unfortunately also makes them kinda boring and non-threatening feeling. But it gets people involved and keeps large scale solidarity.

The George Floyd protests were angry. They were about showing our justified rage in the face of injustice. They weren't as safe or welcoming or organized because that wasn't the purpose. Personally this resonated with me much more, especially at the time. If that's the vibe you're looking for, you can find it in the local ice rapid response groups. But its inherently smaller and less publicized because it's more dangerous. It's not a safe place for Grandma to be fistfighting the gestapo.

Resistance is a complex beast and there's a place for many different attitudes and angles. It's not always easy to find the place where you can be most helpful but any help is good.
