Thinking about how none all the planners (except like one, who they rolled their eyes at) of that “levitate the Pentagon” protest in the 60s thought they might actually levitate it, the point \u2013 this sort of thing was Abbie Hoffman’s specialty \u2013 was to signal to both sides that this was not actually going to be conducted as a violent assault, while taking none of the morale or ideological hit of stepping back from a pose of total hostility

seems like the modern equivalent would be the meme assault on Area 51 by Naruto cosplayers
