Seeing a lot of people saying things like "why don't Americans protest more." I'm not exactly sure how to respond because:
1. In 2020 America had the largest sustained series of protests in world history. Americans protest plenty.
2. American activists are shot by police at a very high rate. Don't forget this.
Americans protest at a very high rate already. We don't protest more because so many of us have been murdered and our police are very dangerous. Hope this helps.
Sadly, at this point it is going to take a lot more than just protests and elections to defeat American fascism. No matter who wins this year.
"Why don't Americans protest more" my brother in christ, we live in a police state
@sidereal unfortunately those who say “Americans don’t protest” usually mean “[White] Americans don’t protest”
@sidereal I mean, we do live in a police state, but being a police state doesn't necessarily bar huge protests as evidenced by the extraordinarily brave actions of our Iranian sisters recently.
@sidereal friendly neighbourhood canada these
@sidereal who is asking why we don't protest more?
Usually people who only learn about which protests are happening from the TV news and major national newspapers.
@sidereal Minneapolis 3ed precinct is a good template for how to respond to police murder. So is the storm of Cop City fires since Tort was murdered
