Watch it have been some ancient Navy SEALS hand signal meaning FUBAR and it caught on when the ancient warrior automatically used it as he saw his hut burning down from an accidental fire. Now, all of humanity uses it.

Tenure-track professors typically have a time limit to prove their worthiness of tenure. At the end of that limit, they apply for tenure and either get accepted or practically fired. One way to prove your value is by publishing in “high-impact” journals. There are all sorts of methods to measure the impact of a journal objectively, such as how often its articles are cited in other articles whose impact scores are also measured. These professors that are in serious debt and have spent their entire lives aiming for this position are practically prisoners trying to get out of the whole they inadvertently dug themselves into. A lot of publications are by those professors, so they are aiming for the highest possible impact scores.
Another group is made up of highly acclaimed professors. They all know each other personally and sit on the editorial boards of those high impact journals. Before they officially submit an article, they send it to their colleague that’s on the board or knows someone on the board for review, make revisions, then submit for publication. This likely leads to a bias I like to call “a hook up”. These professors practically own the journal, so they have no reason to start a new one.
The rest of the professors (mid-level tenured professors) would be the ones likely to create a new journal that isn’t privately owned by a publishing company. Being mid-level and tenured, their only drive to excel is their personal desire to improve the field, so they’re not as driven by necessity as the tenure-track or personal drive to excel as the highly acclaimed professors. This, it doesn’t really happen because there’s no push for it.

You make very good points that I do not disagree with at all, so I am correcting myself.
This is not the same as Eckford because Eckford had the support of the federal government. The National Guard had the firearms for her. This week, the protests are against the people that protected Eckford. FYI, the government has the authority, means, and experience on violence. A lone gunman isn’t going to accomplish anything positive unless there is some highly unlikely scenario in which they use it to protect a victim, they are trained and experienced. But, as @Lumiluz@slrpnk.net pointed out, the Black Panthers were armed and did achieve progress in the 60s and 70s. Also, I have high regard for the original Black Panthers and even have a t-shirt with Huey on it.
Therefore, if you are part of a highly organized political group that has a strong identity based on centuries of brutal oppression, an established unified message, undergone weapons training, experience in lethal altercation with police, a lawyers present, a protocol for functioning as a unit at protests, and haven’t been infiltrated by the FBI yet, then listen to your leaders on whether to take a firearm or not (if that is legal because I don’t want to get in trouble for saying something that is clearly meant to highlight ill-consideration; don’t break the law).
However, if you are a lone protestor or going with a few friends because you care or to check it out, my recommendation is that you DO NOT TAKE A FUCKING FIREARM. I would like to add a few more arguments for my recommendation. If the cops don’t like your face and say that you were threatening them and you have a firearm, good luck convincing the jury that you had no ill intentions. You might win the trial with a good expensive lawyer that you will never be reimbursed for, but if you lose, you are royally fucked. Moreover, let’s even put the cops aside and only focus on you. If you have never been in an altercation where people are firing at each other, that is not the time to learn or figure things out. You will be under the most extreme stress possible for a person. You will not be able to analyze properly or make decisions in an extremely chaotic situation. You will be overwhelmed with your body’s naturally designed desire to survive. You will be reacting, not responding rationally. Making a lethal mistake will ruin your life at the very least, and ruin or end the life of others. But, let’s set the situation to be even more in your favor. Even if you make the best decision possible and fire at someone that is miraculously identified by a glowing arrow floating above their head like a video game that reads “KILL THIS GUY”, you may still miss and kill an innocent person. I’m not going to elaborate on the consequences of that.
This is merely my recommendation based on my limited knowledge and biases. To me, it seems like there are too many ways for this to go very bad, and not enough ways for it to go well. I guess maybe you could be a hero somehow? I may be wrong. I may not know a lot of information that would be contradictory to my stance. I definitely don’t know any of you individually. If you know something I don’t, that’s valid. Maybe ask people that have been arrested for taking a firearm to a protest. That would be useful information. It’s ultimately your decision, so make it. Just think it really fucking well.
Holy hell, I hope this manuscript saves even just one person from serving prison time.

Going to Latin America: What if they planted some shit to blackmail me? Do I have enough cash? Will the US save me if I’m in prison here?
Customs agent: [Paper]? looks at it with an attitude and waves me thru
Returning to US: Shit. Did I leave that guava in my backpack? What if sugar is contraband? What if the rum was laced but I didn’t know? What if the tobacco has tobacco bugs in it? What if the limits on alcohol and tobacco are per year, and the last time I came back into the country counts for this year and now everything I’m bringing is in excess of the limit?
Customs agent: thinks this guy is such an anxious mess Welcome back! 🙂

I’ve never been involved in organizing protests. I’ve only attended a few, so I don’t know anything about leading them. It seems like a serious warning, which made me worried and curious of what I might be missing. Sorry I can’t help :/

You should be VERY VERY VERY careful in this environment about sharing flyers for events that identify NO organizer
Why?

Good point! We need to increase safety. Anyone know of any non-profit organizations that lend out AK-47s and .762 rounds to angry protestors within 2 days?? /s
If you go to a protest with a firearm, you’re a fucking idiot. The police will have every reason to believe you’re a danger to public safety, whether you believe you are or not. Also, you better be trained to use that thing because if not, you’re going to be an additional problem if shit hits the fan. And if you get arrested for anything at all, your charges will become exponentially worse because you allegedly committed a crime while carrying a firearm. DON’T TAKE A FIREARM TO A PROTEST.
