    You stop being a fucking moron. Of course it's a valid measure of public opinion and engagement. The point is to display force relative to the size of the entity being protested. Take the Serbian or Georgian protests. A whole lot more impressive. If you can't see that no one can help you.

    just an update for you since it's so important that you're goal posts are moved. multiple sources claim hundreds of protestors showed up in Edinburgh. I'll (generously) top it out at 1000 protestors nationwide.

    Scotland

    • population 5,500,000
    • trump golf protest 1000
    • per capita 0.00018

    in comparison to the US.

    • population 347,411,739
    • no kings 5,000,000
    • per capita 0.014

    but hey, it's not a competition.

      An American who doesn't understand the concept of per capita. That is certainly new. /s

        I guess you prefer dunking on people online to doing anything about your fascist leaders and neighbours.

            You realise that Donald kiddie fiddler Trump isn't the president of Scotland right? He's objectively your fucking problem. You ought to be grateful for any foreign countries who want to help out. I never said there were proportionally more people protesting in Scotland.

            If you look back at the comments, I've only ever argued with your position that any country that doesn't field 5M protesters isn't outperforming the states. Which, by the way, is still some grade A stupidity. I've no fucking idea how many people showed up, but as previously mentioned trump is definitely more of a problem for the USA than anyone else so I genuinely wouldn't expect that many to show up.

            However if the first minister of Scotland did even half the shit trump's done, Edinburgh would fucking burn with the riots.

              Can't, they put up a massive fence out to a distance of like half a mile and then surrounded it with thousands of cops, no way I can throw eggs that far which is a shame because it's actually in reasonable commute distance.

                what's more impressive for a protest:

                1. 100% of a national population
                2. 5 million from a national population

                Jesus the next thing you're going to tell me is that a pound of feathers is less than a pound of gold.

                  When did I say otherwise? Of course you're not gonna get mass protests in Scotland because a corrupted American rapist goes there surroundes by cops.

                    I don't know what I expected out of you. I guess silence would have been nice. I don't even expect a "you were right". I mean it'd be nice, but I know your ego and pride won't allow that to happen.

                    I guess just go crawl back under your bridge and block me?

                    either way, get wrecked dude.

                        How the fuck is that lying? I'm simply correctly claiming that it's relevant to consider the size of a protest relative to the society or area where it takes place. If you're too pea-brained to realise that no one can truly help you. Dunning-Kruger ass moron.

                          so now we're talking about volume over mobilization.

                          so 5 million over 2100 cities isn't impressive enough?

                          keep moving those goal posts troll.

                          5 million over 2100 cities holding signs and chanting on a Saturday isn’t impressive at all.

                                I’m really not sure what you’re trying to prove.

                                In one country 0.018% rocks up at a moment’s notice for a guy they could care less about and has no real effect on their lives, isn’t deporting their families or screwing them out of medicare. He’s not disrespecting their vets or pulling them off food stamps. He’s coming over to golf, that’s the extent of the relation.

                                They just don’t like him and will make some time on whatever Sunday he rocks up to tell him that.

                                Compare that to to 1.4% (barely 100x more) protesting after years of crimes, n and proud admissions of rape, child molestation, cheating at 3 elections, being illegitimate installed as president right now, impeachments, thousands of illegal deportations of fellow citizens or countrymen, complete bonkers enrichment with crypto scams, gross incompetence on lots of levels, including militarily and economically, embroiled in scandal after scandal

                                So after MONTHS of organising, there were 2 protests which had over 1% of the population out on the streets. And now… nothing. Not even a general strike. Because the free markets are so free, you freely would like to express your freedom of expression if you only were actually free.

                                Have a look at when that magical 1% threshold was breached in other countries historically and for what reasons.

                                And while you’re there, look at what happened after. Typically when you have 1% protests, they are met with action from the goverment. Promises and changes are made to appease the protesters. Back in the USA, they went home, and stayed home. Deportations continued afterwards. And then a bill was signed to make ICE the new gestapo and become the biggest domestic paramilitary organisation in the world.

                                Not sure why anyone would ever try to claim “Americans are great protesters, and love civil action”.

                                When it comes to collective, coordinated, public opposition to a government: 1% is noteworthy, 3% is a crisis, more is a revolution.

                                The rest of your comment is glorified hot air.

                                "Why not organize a simple general strike" actually laughing out loud at that one.

                                200 million+ people, in a country with many laws specifically designed to curtail general striking, with no trusted access to each other, dispersed over thousands of miles, with all social support networks carefully dismantled over decades, with most of them living paycheck to paycheck and 0 social saftey net...

                                Should just nod at each other and agree not to work tomorrow. Clearly a lack of moral fiber in those bloody Yanks 🧐

                                If you really think your opinions hold any water on a wildly different country halfway across the globe, just keep your mouth shut. Unless you want to keep making a fool of yourself I guess.

                                  Easier to argue with me than actually doing something hey?

                                  You’re making my point: the level of constitutional crisis you’re at snd have been at for at least a year, warrants slightly more than a twice “noteworthy” protest. That’s the argument.

                                  You can lay off the personalised attacks, I’m just explaining the core point, which you exemplify perfectly: yanks will find excuse after excuse not to make meaningful social change vs any other western democracy.

                                  And it’s 300+ million. And all the other reasons hopefully will soon begin becoming reasons to go and not excuses to not go.

                                  People aren’t calling you names, they’re just genuinely wondering how much worse you need before things get to your magical 3% threshold.

                                  Because it’s pretty bad.

                                  I mean you’re lashing out at me, that’s how bad, and you’ve never done that before.

                                    You have no clue what I'm doing, and I couldn't be making your argument because you don't have an argument. You're just lobbing complaints at a strawman 'Murican with no basis in reality.

                                    I didn't say 300 because some people did vote for him and are genuinely locked in their isolation bubble. If you think well over 50% of the population doesn't count as a crippling general strike, I don't know what to tell you.

                                    And having the gall to compare a few hundred people showing up to protest a golf outing to organizing a seismic political shift in a massive country is absurd. It's the pinnacle of throwing stones in glass houses while the UK meekly accepts digital privacy surveillance and suppression of political speech on Gaza. Where's your fucking critique of that???

                                    Apparently just laying out the facts of life in America is making an excuse. Nowhere did I say we should lay down and take it, but you armchair political activists aren't happy unless you see headlines about car bombs or some shit. God forbid you adjust yourself to the context of reality, just shout loudmouth transatlantic complaints. The lack of self-awareness is incredible, you've become your own despised Fox News caricature.

                                    "People aren't calling you names", no it's way worse than that. They're trying to direct how I should act in my own country about matters that, at best, only tangentially concern them. That's why you should keep your mouth shut. Worry about how your own damn government is reacting to tariffs and NATO balancing and not how I need to fix my political nightmare for your personal peace of mind.

                                        Trebuchets have been able to do this for at least a few years.

                                          Trebuchets are just medieval siege weapons from the trebuch region of France, everything else are sparkling catalults.
