The whole world is plunging deeper into the American nightmare. Yes, the resistance is rising — marches, chants and fists in the air — but the corpo-capitalist doomsday machine keeps devouring everything in its path.

If we want to turn this insane elephant’s meltdown around and capture the imagination of the world, we need a new tactic. Something razor-sharp, slicing through the noise.

Let’s go further than flipping off Trump.

Picture this: From the churning sea of protest as usual, ten people emerge. No signs . . . No shouts . . . Then . . . eruption. A wild, feral war dance tears through the crowd — pure playful, fuck-it-all rebellion. As it peaks, they lock eyes with the press scrum, middle fingers rising in perfect unison.

And a ritual is born.

The next night, in another city, another middle finger flashmob strikes. Ten becomes a hundred. Then a thousand. Then the vibe leaps borders . . . Canada, Mexico, the U.K., Sweden. Even in China, brave souls dare to join the dance at American embassies.

And if we can get this new aesthetic of activism to go viral, kick off an exciting new TikTok trend, this global wave of resistance can gnaw away at MAGA’s doom-and-gloom grip.

That’s more than a protest. It’s the spirit of freedom awakening all over the world, moving with an almighty “Fuck you!” that can’t be ignored.

Give it a shot. You just might like it.
