protest tactics

It seems as though anti-war protest tactics have changed. I find this interesting because, while i’m adamently anti-war, i have yet to feel any meaningful anti-war *community*. I mean, my friends and colleagues are all super anti-war and i’ve been supporting Not In Our Names in a variety of different ways, but i really don’t feel connected. I guess attending the protests would remind me that there are other people involved, but everyone who i know who went to SF’s anti-war protests felt great about going, like it was a festival, but they didn’t come out feeling more connected to an anti-war community…
