Remember, the revolution will not be televised and the corporate media is not your friend. They will never frame your actions how you want them to and will only cover what is safe.

For any action you must consider what it does if nobody knows you did it. Employing symbols and ideas in your action can make it more effective, but ultimately it must have a material component. and if you face no possible risk, then your action probably isn't threatening enough to the status quo.

"[P]eople don’t like to be made to look ridiculous. [...] But Trump himself makes it the case that there are really only two options. Either Trump is the greatest US President... or else he is, at best, totally ridiculous. [...] As a result, there is no way to conceptualize the red-blue divide except as a red pill-blue pill divide... The reason Trump talks constant lies is, in part, to ensure the debate frame can only be: which side is constantly lying?" http://crookedtimber.org/2018/06/13/epistemic-sunk-costs-and-the-extraordinary-populist-delusions-of-crowds/

"I discovered that the world should be divided not into good and bad people but into cowards and non-cowards. Ninety-five percent of cowards are capable of the vilest things, lethal things, at the mildest threat."

.

"Massive inequality horribly accentuated by neoliberal policies that destroy basic social services, needed infrastructures and essential public goods provide a fertile ground for advancing a sinister turn toward a collective anger and resentment open to a newly charged populism willing to embrace white supremacist ideology, state violence and authoritarian beliefs. Neoliberalism is the face of a new fascism."

The two strings have different hashes. PHP just converts the strings, which both start with "0e" to floating point numbers of value 0.0; and these are equal.
