in terms of marches i have seen how differently right wing gangs act when 5% or so of a crowd is armed and it is a meaningful difference in terms of a movement, we are Americans. If you do not struggle with suicidal ideation and have the time and resources to train I think you should be armed - ThreadSky

So if you can get at least 5% of a crowd to embrace self defense, you're more or less good? That makes things seem much less hopeless.

I sadly don't have the time to train as I have a fair amount on my plate at this stage of my life.

oh God I didn't say more or less good very bad things still happen but in events I have witnessed it does tend to alter the calculus of vigilantes

Ok so 5% is more like a turning point then?

I'm just trying to figure out ways to break this mess into smaller chunks and I'm curious to see how manageable encouraging enough people to adopt self defense is. What amount is enough? What is the best way to convince people, preferably many people at once?

It doesn't seem like "vigilantes" is our primary concern at this point...

Reject modernity, embrace the tradition of smokey back rooms.
