I like how all the big media just happened to publish articles about "peaceful protests" to pacify the protestors, "please don't be violent everyone, the police can't shoot you all in the leg with rubber bullets".

The violent protests are the successful ones. Just ask every country, ever.

I do see people's point about America just being such a passive or incredibly violent country. But, when I went out to the protest, I did notice that you had anarchist, grannies and liberals in the same setting. So we gotta watch and see what happens over time. But I mean, I think collective suffering is going to push people to the edge. Which eventually will awaken something, I hope. In the meantime, I have my eyes set on Europe. At least the cheeseburger kings bday party was an absolute flop. You can see it in his face. Trump is such a little baby bitch.

As someone now living in Europe, I find the US protests mild and small. When Europeans protest, they protest. I mean, my native Greece saw a massive protest in Feb, well over a million went out, in a country of ~9 million. This is how you do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tm3vEKMnA-8

You're basically watching a whole country (re)learn how to do this. Most of us have had it good for a long time, up until very recently. You're seeing a lot of first-timers in every one of these protests, as the movement grows. Give it time.

...and in France we get maimed by tear gas grenades and rubber bullets for it. Yay.

No one showed up to the cheeseburger kings birthday party.

Republicans should be terrified at this point. The protests are peaceful ... for now.

...nah man, they're just itching for an excuse to roll out deadly force and mass voter suppression...

That looks like a bigger crowd than trump's birthday war parade.

Might be a bigger crowd than Trump's inauguration too

what are the demands youre pushing?

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

There are none. This is performatism.

it looked a bit like this to me but i want to hear from the people actually going to gauge what it actually is.

And this is after they "cancelled" it.
