Oh yeah 3/4 examples are below a million. So it must be that one high outlier, that’s also actually working.

There have been plenty of more modern examples given as well. At this point you’re just willingly ignoring them
Yeah, just miss that order of magnitude in the middle there.
The first amendment doesn’t apply to Christian evangelism.
According to SCOTUS at any rate.
For fuck’s sake in ten years we’re going to hear kids tell us the Constitution was given to us by Jesus.
Yeah, it is generally considered to be a bad thing.
You need to start adding a zero to get numbers that change things. The abortion rights marches have absolutely changed stuff. The Republicans refuse to admit they ever had anything to do with getting rid of abortion and abortion rights have won in all 7 states that already voted on it. Now they’re on the ballot in 11 states for November.
When you get enough people, and it’s not some nebulous idea like gun violence, stuff actually happens.
Those weren’t enough people and you can’t protest an idea the way occupy protested greed. It just didn’t work. When you look at the pictures of places that have done this they have completely filled the streets, to the point there is no controlling the crowd.
Filling a park or a “free speech zone” isn’t going to do it.
No this is exactly what it looks like. They filled the streets and they didn’t go into his mansion until he fled after the Army turned on him for using lethal force against the crowd.
Just like the water hoses and dogs picture was very resonant in the US. The 1964 civil rights act was passed the next year after that photo went viral.
Buddy, I just fucking woke up. This isn’t a voice conversation.
Ukraine is probably the most recent example. Russia invaded them but before that they threw their president out purely with people in the street.
In Egypt they caused a change of governance that wasn’t a total improvement but was an improvement.
In Tunisia and Algeria they got favorable changes in government.
No, this isn’t, “don’t talk to the police”. This is, “don’t pay taxes, don’t vote, fight the police, fuck everything, the system is rigged and all government employees are complicit in a system of cruelty.”
One of those is a valuable lesson and the other is going to give us the next Unabomber.
I already live the renting life. Not much is going to change.
Yeah that’s not really how the military does things. That would probably be seen as a slap in the face instead.
On the contrary a massive number of people on the streets is the only way we’ve seen effective change in the past couple decades. Violence has led to protracted conflicts with a low rate of success.
Yup, I acknowledge that it’s in development hell.
No he just likes McDonald’s
Por que no los dos?
Yup. We had a couple moments but we never exploited them to prevent capitalists from turning themselves into nobles in all but name.
