gotta love the french; tried to raise it 2 years and they take to the streets

meanwhile in the US republicans are coming for our entitlement programs (or getting clever in the meantime with ideas like putting social security up for for a congressional re-authorization vote every year or two) and we're like "meh"

Not saying you’re wrong but it helps when the unions organizing this literally fought the Nazis as Resistance organizations, a third of the population works for the government, and, crucially, 2/3rds of the population are less than 2 hours by train.

Imagine going to a protest after work then going home for dinner and not having to take vacation days/travel many hours/etc.

The US government doesn’t have nearly enough restraint once it turns non-peaceful though. During the George Floyd Protests they riddled both rioters and peaceful protesters alike with rubber bullets and teargas canisters. I saw more than one video of a person with a rubber bullet lodged in their skull. It’s actually amazing that so few people were killed (19 in total) during the violence.

What’s really crazy is just how “peaceful” American rioters are compared to the police trying to stop them.

At one point I was watching a row of police advancing down a road to push protesters back and all I could think was how easy it would be for one pissed guy to drop a dozen cops in a matter of seconds. If the imagined threats to police were actually real, they would need to find some seriously different tactics.

I guess no one really has the stomach to push it “past that point” which I don’t blame anyone for. If anything the protestors showed significantly more restraint than anyone else.

Moving goalposts. This isn’t about how many people they killed, it’s about dead children.

But beyond that, The Terror accounts for 17,000 public executions in under a year but only 20 of them were children.

19 children were left to die by police in Uvalde alone.

Robespierre, along with 80+ other conspirators, was executed himself, none of the police in Uvalde are going to be executed.

Maybe comparing protests to The Reign of Terror isn’t the best huh?

>We did it for police brutality

No we didn't. Burning a few cop cars and dumpsters and then getting bored before the end of the summer is jack shit and was never going to be enough to accomplish anything. Peaceful and mildly rowdy protesting rarely achieves anytjing because it's not a real threat. The US government in its current state has demonstrated consistently that it absolutely will not give us anything of real value that we don't force it to give us.

I mean it will go as usual in France : the police will destroy any evidence there is and bury the story. The government will do the same and justify the police's brutality. And this man will have suffered and been mutilated by the police for free, with no repercussions or proper investigation.

Not the first time, one of the hundreds injured by the police, and one of the dozens mutilated under Macron's governments.

They have plenty of restraint but only when the protest or march involves the far right. They get let off with pretty much anything and cops applauding them and chatting with them.

Anyone else though gets the tear gas, rubber bullets and beating (especially journalists).

It is pretty clear that the police in the USA are far right fascists.

That's because the protestors weren't armed. Police in the US are a bunch of cowards and bullies, and are easily cowed by even the idea that there might be violence. But against unarmed, peaceful protestors? They go all out since there is almost no risk.

They already have. The Jan 6th coup attempt saw mutiple cops killed and dozens seriously injured. Only one traitor was killed by a guard, with several more killed by accidents (like falling off the building as on tried to climb it). Instead of trying to block them in and arresting them, they were all simply let go. Over 2 years later, and only a few hundred have been arrested, all but a handful only sentenced a few weeks.

Moral of the story: if you are going to protest in the US, be clearly armed. Best way to insure peace these days.

France has a long history and culture of protests. Sometimes they get a little wild. Remember years ago when they had constant cars being set on fire.
Now they are ripping balls off

It's only stupid if you pretend there aren't brownshirts committing mass murders on a weekly basis, cops brutalizing non-violent protesters in the streets with impunity any time they might have chance of accomplishing something, state legislatures stripping people of their right to their very identies and murdering people by banning and restricting access to life saving medical care, mainstream religious leaders openly (and without consequence) calling for violence up to and including the wholesale murder of LGBT people, and an untouchable SCOTUS actively supporting and enabling all of this.

You have to be incredibly stupid to think any of this is going to go away without meeting their violence with violence, either from the state, or if that ultimately fails, from us.

I think that's probably why the left is anti gun. Keeps the people who would protest over pay and against the government unarmed. Lean right keep your guns but end up protesting against the people of the left and not against your party or the government insurrection aside. Left protests government but much lower gun ownership, right protests against the left. Government never has to worry about armed united resistance due to political split. The left may protest but they will always likely be unarmed, the right will be heavily armed but will spend significantly more time counter protesting the left than ever going after the government.
