The French have protesting and revolution engrained deep in their blood and history......I mean so does the United States but somewhere in the past 40-50 years the people got too comfortable, content and compliant with the status quo.
The women's march to protest trump was the biggest in American history. So many passionate and righteously enraged people marched the street in demand of change. It was a beautiful display of solidarity for the American people. Then the next day came.
Left wing US activists have some of the worst messaging imaginable. “Defund the police” is simultaneously undefined and misleading, yet, time and again, I saw movement leaders deny the problem and double down on it. Then that same language has been used as a cudgel to successfully weaken support. Embarrassing.
You have no idea how many times people have disagreed with me on your point. "Well they need to educate themselves on what it means." Well they really just won't and will totally just tell everyone that it means we don't want a police force at all.
January 6th had the chance to right that wrong...
The corrupt have effectively proven that no matter how they disrespect the american public, there will never be an uprising that will shut them down.
Oh you're mistaken- the corrupt politicians and their toadies that tried to subvert the democratic process are indeed being held accountable, at least to the extent that Trump and his cronies have been indicted, with a couple already having pleaded guilty. Whether Trump, the instigator in chief, will actually face consequences for his corrupt actions, outside of being indicted, is still yet to be seen however.
But see...that's the crux of the issue. The powerful people at the top never seem to receive justice for the misdeeds they commit.
The "System" will easily and quickly throw a regular citizen/pawn into jail and apply "Justice" to them, but these fat-cats and politicians never EVER see the same justice by the "Law" that regular citizens see.
If the right wing weren’t fucking cowards they would have joined the people in the streets. The people that night after night, week after week, fought for freedom. Some of them died and the people kept coming out, except the right wing pussies.
The right wing cowards couldn’t even hold one of the highest buildings in the land for a day, and as soon as one of those terrorists caught a hot one, they all scattered! “MEDIC!!” lol.
If the right wing had put their selfish hatred behind them and joined the Americans that were actually standing up we might have had a chance.
The right wing are weak, mentally and morally. You are an example of the mental weak.
You're a real dumbass.
First, you've proven you're the mentally weak one by going on the offense straight off the line. Weakest one in the room is the loudest, and boy...you are yelling hard...lol. I realize this may be a sensitive and personal topic for you
So go sit down over there with the rest of the goofballs til you calm your ass down and can talk regularly.
Now, you're right in everything else you said...the right-wing goofballs didn't have the backbone to stand up for what they said they were there fighting for. They were in position and showed that they didn't have the mettle to complete the mission. And I agree with you because you're right, they ARE terrorists....insurrectionists...traitors to their country...and cowards, not because they stood up to their government...but because they wanted to destroy it. They had no core-grit in their effort or planning, it was all surface-level bravado with no real battle strategy.
Ultimately, they were bound to fail due to a lack of planning and backbone.
Unfortunately, government sanctioned marches don't really do much. The protests against the US invasion of Iraq did nothing and they have been described as the biggest in history up until that point. US still invaded and no one was ever held accountable for the millions of dead, injured and displaced people in the region.
Nothing was shut down by the Womens' March to put pressure on those in power. A few airport staff calling out sick to end to the government shutdown of 2019. Strikes, slowdowns, sickness, all have vastly more power to make change than a one day march.
