As any good marketer will tell you, you have to have a solid base of "early
adopters" before a product can start excellerating to critical mass. The goal
of repression is to prevent these early adobtions. The leaders of the anit-war
movement are just haven't found a way to use the protests as leverage. Too
fragmented, no consistent brand message.
Just heard two 23 year olds leaders of opposite polical groups (left/right).
Left guy had no simple brand message counter to the right guy who just said "we
want to attract people to our values" - thereby assuming the morale high ground
without really saying a thing.
The Left explains to much - explainations are weak.
