The NYT hates peaceful protest
-
WSJ reported "tens of thousands" attending trumps parade which was the most honest thing I've seen from major papers. then next sentence was "hundreds of thousands" attending the no kings protests. While that is technically true, it misrepresenta the 5 million who protested across the country and felt like a concession to not make trump's birthday parade look as bad.
I also saw the AP say there were "dozens" of No Kings protests. According to the No Kings site, they had protests in 1,500 cities.
Could you imagine if you asked you spouse to pick up a dozen eggs and they came back with 1,500 instead?

"they had bread."
(I know I'm butchering the joke, please bear with me)

Okay, now do it every weekend until something changes. That's why protests are successful in places like France, because they repeat until it's no longer possible to ignore.
Edit: Cleaned up that last line.
They also blockade the ports and spay manure at government buildings in France.

No i think you nailed it lol

It has to continue and be sustained. It's less likely getting everyone to participate in a general strike, but if 10% of the people in the US walked out of their job to protest in the street...? I guarantee there would be immediate change.
It has been continuing. It has been sustained. There has been constant protesting since Trump got back in office, it's just not being covered by mainstream news outlets. These latest No Kings protests have been the biggest protests so far, but they haven't been the only protests, not by a long shot.

Well, yes. I dont distinguish between them in capitalism because the dont have diverging interests long term.
okay well conflating the two is a pretty arbitrary thing to do, and not really something you would want to assume everyone else does. you seem surprised that people reacted negatively to your comment... and you attribute that to us not being "anti imperialist" enough... when really you're just speaking a different language. maybe getting upset about it was your original intention?

The nyt covered it with tons of pictures on the day it happened. But I guess it's not good enough unless they do it exactly how and when you want.
Yeah I don't know when this tweet is from but I imagine that it's talking about the 50501 protests. Which the NY times covered extensively.
Hell right now there's a half dozen articles on their homepage. Or if you don't want that here's an article, and Another article.
Then again, literally every single time I've seen a comment like this online talking about "nobody is talking about this!!!!" every single major newspaper has multiple articles about it. I don't know why people keep falling for this when it's the easiest thing on earth to prove. Like guys, just Google the thing """nobody""" is talking about.

So you're accusing me of bad intentions. This will totally make me have a meaningful discussion with you.

Looks like there's a lesson here.

They also burn things in France.
Like Waymos?

Wait, you mean north America Americans?
Because I'm pretty certain there was much more people than that yesterday in the whole continent of America.
Now, if you mean less than 1.4% of the North Americans, well that might as well be but then again, that's peanuts against the voting population...

Expect this from corpo-slop. This is New America, where all legacy media bent to threats from a despot instead of doing their fucking jobs. They're complicit, and they should be standing next to this admin against the wall after the fallout.

You didnt need to prove my point that fast but okay. Thanks i guess.
Did your country print you the "certified centrist" barcode in your neck yet?
What's that supposed to mean?
I reject imperalism, I recognize state influence on media (especially in authoritarian nations) is a major threat to society, billionaires are a cancer, and everyone deserves their basic needs met.

If he meant north america, then Mexicans would also be protesting?

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Fuck off with this pedantry, it's such a white liberal guilt thing to get up in arms about. I've heard of literally no one from Canada, Central, or South America referring to themselves as "American". They identify by their nationality, as we do with ours.

Because you're drinking the koolaid of so called democracies while thinking they're not killing millions of people for profit. What do you think the people do that mine the stuff for your phones, the people around the mines, the people who live near oil extraction.
Capitalist nations are the greater evil by a huge margin. They kill as many people in three years as all socialist countries in the world ever did.
Please read something that is not imperialist media. Its really easy to understand. Capitalism is evil.
