yeah, I feel like theres a profound misunderstanding about what "divide and conquer" means here and, the thing about it is that I have seen this argument before on this topic.
Divide and Conquer is about making your enemies argue with each other, not about literal protest logistics. Usually I find people arguing against decentralized protests with this tact its someone with main character syndrome demanding that we go to their one big protest and behave according to their protocols.
If you throw Mao's "let a hundred flowers bloom" at them you can get a nifty temper tantrum out of them usually.
