Movements run organizing drives and legal attacks in parallel phases

Evidence

BLM demonstrators, climate strikers, and antilockdown protesters resemble less a militant collective than the aforementioned swarms, a myriad animated by brief, potent stimuli, stirred to action by charismatic influencers and digital demagogues. Anyone can join a Telegram channel or be invited to a group chat; the price of membership is low, the costs of exit even lower. Leaders can, of course, try to choreograph these broods—with social media posts of their own, television appearances, or “anti-disinformation” campaigns. But such choreography is no substitute for durable organization. — Anton Jäger, Hyperpolitics, 229 (#contradicts, via linked claim)
