Is that true? Maybe someone provided signs to people who showed up genuinely. Maybe someone provided a template online.

- orwin 3y agoYes, it's true. Source:I've participated to 12 demonstration this year (I missed two :/).
- dan-robertson 3y agoYou should expect to see a mix at large demonstrations. Some people will make their own, others will be attending with a local special interest or political group who may be more organised and print matching signs. For a small demonstration, it may well be attended by members of the same organisation that organised the demonstration. All the matching signs prove is that only one organisation is significantly involved. If strikers on a picket line have matching signs made by their union, does that mean it’s organised by a shady institution and not a genuine effort by people. It seems strange to me to require small demonstrations to pretend to not be organised. I think better heuristics should be found.
