We see our neighbors with Mexican flags every day, it doesn’t make them belong here any less.
Never made such a claim. You're so caught up in thinking I'm an enemy that you knee-jerk into all sorts of accusations and false claims. I'm saying that it's bad for convincing the American public that you're on the right side of things. Other Americans seeing the national guard coming down on people flying American flags, is bad optics for DJT. Seeing them coming down on people flying nothing but Mexican flags, looks good to the mostly racist American populace. That's literally the only thing I'm saying.
Yeah, you’re not saying it. You just think no Mexican Americans, etc should show up with Mexican flags. Oh, also more American flags. What else to make the protest perfect so that no rightoid can say anything bad about it? Better get it all out here so the people can do everything perfectly to your standards.
Talk is cheap and the criticisms of anyone not at the protests are worthless.

There IS no between the lines. I didn't say it, so stop fucking saying that's what I mean, because I don't. You don't get to dictate what my words mean.

You do know that when Germans protest against Nazis they commonly use the German flag, right?
indeed.No they don't. We don't have half of the nationalist zeal you guys sport. Please refrain from talking about topics you do not know shit about.

indeed.Germans against Nazis wouldn't use the German flag. If you brought one to the protest you'd probably be considered an intruder from the Nazi side

The federal agency ICE is completely captured by fascists. They are arbitrarily staging immigration crackdowns using hastily deputized agents who arrest people off the street while hiding their identity. They came to Los Angeles, a fervently anti-fascist area. It triggered massive but mostly peaceful protests, and some protestors wave Mexican flags like OP's picture.
Trump is using the protests as a pretext to claim this is an invasion, so he can mobilize the federal military against citizens. The protests are getting more chaotic (by design, since military presence is exacerbating tensions), which causes the police violence to increase, in a vicious cycle.
Thank you. I have no idea what happened to LA this past few days, i know there's a protest and there's police violence against protestors and there's chaos, beyond that i'm very much in the dark.

This is populist violence and outrage that would be better directed in an organised bus-to-washington program that would only attract the politically committed (and ideally more disciplined).
They could be briefed on the bus.
That bus would have its brake lines cut before Trump's first diaper change.

indeed.wrote on last edited by [email protected]Really? Which Protests do you mean? The vast majority of German flags I saw on anti Nazi demos in Germany had been mounted to Buildings or the hands of some Nazi Idiot at the counterprotest.
Going one step towards the center of the political spectrum from the firmly left learning anti Nazi Demos, there are the anti AFD Demos which also attract(ed) people with far more moderate centrist political views than the average Antifa member, thus being more likely to support the idea of the state of Germany in its current form.
Still, most flags you'd see were for pride / lgbtq+ or political organisations.You might see a German flag from time to time but i think it's just plain wrong to call it common.

indeed.wrote on last edited by [email protected]You really have no clue how much American "patriotism" is looked down upon on this side of the pool, do you? Nationalism is a nazi thing, no one who opposes nazis here would use a national flag during a protest.

Ummm guys I'm not american can someone what the heck is going on?
Trump is using the military to occupy a city that hates him. He wants to deport a lot of people, but the city isn't having it so protests have emerged.
From what I've seen, four self driving taxies was burned (the car on the image) by protestors, while the police intentionally shot a news reporter, used a horse to trample a detained protestor, and has deployed marines to the streets.

A photojournalist was hit over the weekend and is still in the hospital after surgery.

indeed.If you'd bring a German flag to an anti-nazi rally, people will look at you weird. At more radical ones, you'll get smacked by a guy carrying an "Antifaschistische Aktion" flag.

Because they don't. German Flags are usually shown at the Nazi or right wing rallies, not at anti-fascist rallies. You absolute fucking dunce.

What’s brain dead is thinking people only have a right to free speech if it fits what you think their optics should be.
Anyone who wouldn’t support the burning of an American flag is an enemy of the US Constitution.
Wtf are you talking about?

You've got little concept of what their cause is. Their cause is "you've pushed us to the breaking point and this society is no longer worth enabling, the social contract is dead." It's not to make the liberals sad, it's to hit everyone who wants to enable the system through disruption until their grievances are acknowledged. That's always been the method of even the most peaceful of successful protest movements. The entire point is to flex political power(and I'm not talking about voting here), not hope some liberal gives them thoughts and prayers.
If you truly think that, that it's so bad that the social contract is broken, then leave LA. Simple.

There's a reason nobody's actually giving a shit that you're not going to lend your support to them. It's always been obvious that your types are the ones that need to feel the disruption because empathy isn't a language you understand.

Edit: and apparently root access to the whole car.

'Captured'
I would say 'founded and staffed', but yes.

Yeah, the protestors shouldn't be physically stopping the shutzstaffel from taking people to the camps. They should all get on busses for a two week round trip to inform the president that he violated the constitution when he sent in the marines and they would like him to stop now please if its not too much trouble.
When will these fuvking politically incompetent lefties ever learn?
