Tell that to the French. Americans think the French are just about surrender but they’ve raised cities because the government wanted to extend retirement age by two years. Most recently two teenagers were electrocuted trying to escape arrest and the citizens rioted. Spending cuts? Riot. Strict policing in low income housing districts? Get the fuck out. Let them eat cake? Topple the government and execute its leaders.
It’s not my argument. Americans just hold signs and sing songs and still get their asses kicked by (checks notes) their own industrial military complex when the law should be protecting its citizens, not shooting priests and reporters in the face with less than lethal rounds.
After 25 years in Afghanistan, the Afghan people protested with ammo and IED’s. Who’s in charge now? The Taliban… and you know what? Good for them. We never should have been there in the 70’s and most definitely not the 00’s
Then you know nothing of the chicago resistance. It has not been horribly violent but it has been active. the whistles, the blocking, confusing the activities, sheltering people. its more than just songs.
No. I rarely get to choose what side I see. It’s fed to me on a little caviar spoon. So salty.
