  • Thank you for agreeing with me and providing the sources you’re asking for.

    I don’t get what you’re trying to do here.

    i see you’re just making things up here:

    “they don’t care about random US citizens being scared, that doesn’t help them combat the US military, and they didn’t want the US to be in their country so why would they want to be chased?”

    but again I’m not really sure what you’re after.

    Good luck.



  • “Quite literally the opposite”

    nope.

    “the real way to change things is through actual political movement…”

    bizarre that so many of you professed “naysayers” use total agreement with my original as some means of argument.

    i’ll take it anyway. I think that’s all of you now that’s come around too admitting that protesting works.

    “the ruling class has convinced you that protesting is effective because they know it isn’t.”

    All this shows is that you’ve been brainwashed, you literally don’t believe historical fact, widely accepted widely documented historical fact.

    you needed deprogramming, that’s just a remnant.

    you’re welcome, I guess my deprogramming of you worked pretty well.

    “I’m the one ignoring reality”

    You’re not ignoring it, you’re afraid of it and are hiding from it to avoid personal responsibility.

    “Good luck with your protesting, I wish it was that easy”

    literally already changing the face of the nation by judicial injunction.

    luck has nothing to do with it.

    “… you’ll want the last word again…”

    not how last words work.



  • “Believe the narrative you were told”

    that is literally what you are doing.

    “That’s the very definition of being gaslit.”

    Yes, you have successfully been gaslit by the people you are so afraid of.

    you believe that protests are useless and activism is passivism, which is what you are exhibiting.

    your head’s on backwards.

    “When you’re ready to make a real change, let me know.”

    your head is in the sand, you are literally advocating for giving up your civil rights, you aren’t helping anyone and there is nothing you can do to help.

    All you’re doing is crying about how nothing can change because you don’t know how to change it.


  • “…millennia of data imply otherwise”

    If you don’t believe in the civil Rights movement or literally the founding of the US having occurred, there’s not much that’s going to convince you.

    You believe the stories that the puppet masters you’re so afraid of have told you.

    rebellions, protests, change history constantly.

    you can literally read any history book and find this out, especially in modern democratic societies.

    in fact, I defy you to find a single history book that says rebellions don’t change history.

    “…may seem defeatist to you…”

    there’s no 'may seem" about it, you’re advocating for hiding and not doing anything because you, contrary to fact, don’t believe that the rights you have today are the result oh organized rebellion.

    because the people you perceive as above you told you that resistance is futile, you are squawking out that same message.

    You are parroting the empty words of those you fear, exhorting protesters to do what your masters tell them to.

    you are definitively defeatist, full stop.

    “Better to accept this now and get through the disillusionment so that you can effectively resist into the future.”

    absurd.

    this is not the same as Hitler’s rise to power, because Hitler already did it and civilians, lawyers and judges in the US are fighting against it.

    You are parroting those ignorant parties you perceive as more authoritative than you.

    If this authoritarian coup works, part of their victory will directly be your fault for expressing these false sentiments and encouraging others to stop protesting.

    “I absolutely hope that I’m wrong…”

    you are unequivocally, factually and historically wrong.

    The very fact that you’re able to express your cowardly sentiments and I am able to express my practical encouragement are proof that protests work.

    The US was literally successfully founded on protests.

    “…don’t make that hope very great.”

    what is happening in the world has zero effect on hope, your attitude and actions determine your hope.

    you are nervously crawling down the path of least resistance, which is apparently tearing down the principles and people who gave you your rights and liberty today.





  • I think as many as are able should join the ongoing protests, but fortunately what you are hoping for is already happening, and every person that supports 50501 or BLM or lgbtq or any protests in their area is helping.

    The protests are being covered and the more people that protest, the more coverage those protests will get.


  • it would be difficult for you to be more wrong here.

    “I think it’s all the more reason to call accelerationists out on their bullshit magical thinking…”

    too bad you are doing the opposite of that.

    those puppet-master elites you are complaining about have convinced you that asking protesters to calm down and stop fighting back Is the way to make change. it is the exact opposite.

    " Don’t protest, nobody cares!"

    obviously incorrect as mentioned in the uncountable examples above that have resulted in your civil rights.

    " Don’t file a lawsuit, it won’t have any effect."

    women’s healthcare is still accessible because of these lawsuits, the government is literally still running because of these lawsuits, Trump is now a felon and half a billion dollars poorer, Bannon and others in the Fake electric scheme went to jail.

    “Americans are too litigious”

    corporate safety overall Is primarily a result of civil lawsuits against harmful corporate practices.

    “college kids are too sensitive”

    college students are basically the front line against police brutality and the genocide in Palestine.

    you are turned around, capitulating to the wrong paradigm, you are thinking how those controlling you want you to think despite the historical and factual contrary evidence that fighting back does make a change.

    protests and protesters change policy.

    you can support them or you can detract from their efforts, yowling at your shutteed window that change isn’t possible.

    you think you are being “practical”, but you’re parroting the absorbed, objectively false strictures of your ruling class and screaming mindlessly at the people fighting for and preserving your rights.



  • “that feels like it isn’t enough”

    this is what the extremists are banking on, that trump can scribble enough bogus executive orders that people will get tired and stop paying attention to what they’re actually doing.

    That’s why the organized protests and the judges and the lawyers and the civil unions and the labor unions are so important and deserve so much support.

    there are Republicans decrying Trump, but most Americans are barely hanging on to their job and rent, so the politically active are going to be a laudable minority for the foreseeable future.



  • “When?”

    Gandhi freed India(1947

    The Civil Right Act.(1964)

    Women’s Suffrage(1920)

    nearly every labor right you enjoy(from 200 years ago up to today)

    nearly every civil right you enjoy.(sames)

    There are literally countless examples.

    All of your privileges you take for granted and are blissfully ignorant of were bestowed upon you by caring citizens who took the time to demonstrate their political will.


  • this is in no way true. in the US, dozens of Judges are fighting back against executive power, lawyers and civil unions are filing hundreds of lawsuits, many of which are being upheld, and there are nationwide protests happening every few days.

    If you aren’t referring to the US, European countries are also having massive demonstrations against right-wing parties.

    it’s a very loud time as many hundreds of thousands of people are fighting for democratic rights worldwide.
