I mean, if you're out there at all you're risking taking a hit (quite literally). Like, when you go to one of these protests you could be slammed to the ground, tear gassed, shot, or arrested. If you're willing to risk that I'd say you're pretty dedicated.

I think it's reasonable, even tactically advantageous to keep your identity protected. You're never going to accomplish much with one protest, and if everyone gets arrested on bullshit charges after the first one it's much harder to organize a second one.

They accomplished an awful lot, marching without masks in the 60’s and 70’s.

They bear the scars now too, but damn if you can’t say they didn’t get results.

Hell they were beaten, shot, water cannoned, even straight up gunned down a couple times

I mean, yeah. You can accomplish a lot with your face exposed too. You can always risk more. But these things don't have to be all or nothing like that.

Agreed, I said I would believe they care less in their cause, not not at all
