More ‘we cant do anything because xyz’ arguments. There are protests outside of Paris. Here in Canada, an infintely sparser population, the railroads were shut down over the pipeline in 2020. We literally saw store shelves here on the east coast get emptier because the trains werent running.
Are Americans lacking any and all imagination that all they can think of doing is non-disruptive protests?
Dont get me wrong, Im sure there is creative action happening down there but my god all the comments are full of excuses.
Americans are trained through 12 years of public education to become docile if or when they protest.
The only characters of the Civil Rights movement that are mentioned in public school are MLK and Rosa Parks.
Practically no mention of Malcom. Everything I learned of the Black Panthers through my public school career, was from watching Forest Gump. BLA? Fannie Lou Hamer? The Deacons for Defense & Justice? Never heard of 'em.
Obviously pacifism is the way to get your message across, right?
Except it fell on deaf ears until black men and women started showing up armed.
(And that, boys and girls, was the start of the gun control movement).
Fuck…I only know the story of The Hurricane because of Bob Dylan.
Thanks to the NRA and Ronald Reagan for essentially leading the charge. Save for some gun laws, most are racist intentions to keep marginalized communities weak and unarmed for easier subjugation.
also black people in general are heavily stereotyped, so people would be indoctrinated not to trust AA figures in history. they think the fantasized version of ghandi was the method of resistance, his own family was anything but peaceful to get thier way at least until the late 70s in India.

Questions are excuses nowadays. Good to know. 👍🏻
Oh please. We know what the implication is. Dont play dumb. Dont be a coward and own your argument.
Can I offer some advice? Take your foot off the cunt pedal.
You know Im right. Why are you being a coward about this?
My fascist hell hole is better than your fascist hell hole. Hey, let’s go bomb some more brown people together.
