    Well since local media aren't covering them and many foreign ones step in line to not upset lord trump, the only way to get examples is to attend them.

    The cities he sent military to were the cities that had largest protests.

    So, guaranteed death? USA will not use billy clubs and shields to knock down protesters. They will SHOOT and kill.

    I'm not dying because we have 80 million retarded cunts here.

    Are you just going for a shock reaction, or are you seriously trying to neg other people into dying for you?

    So you're the very definition of a keyboard warrior, but for some reason you get to decide that things like 'protesting' aren't doing enough, and to demand accountability for us not dying in your place.

    I suppose I should have used 'slacktivist' or 'armchair anarchist', but I felt the implication that you'd be doing what you're demanding of americans (were the political situations reversed) was enough to muddy the distinction between the three incredibly important terms. I also felt those two were more directly insulting, and liable to be wrong (you might be involved in your local politics IRL), so I chose to avoid using them. Please, let us litigate further this topic I'm sure we both care about instead of talking about something like: how easy it is to demand other people die for a cause when you can't be asked to do the same.

    For context: I've been shot while protesting for Palestine once already, and the IDF ripped out my babysitter's spine with a bulldozer and left her to drown in her own blood while she was protesting. What've you done in in your time, exactly, that's putting your body on the line?

    (okay)it was probably just a flesh wound from shrapnel, but there were still bullets.

    ^edit:^ ^bulldozer,^ ^not^ ^backhoe^

    Dude, there's no way you can argue your way into making someone feel bad for not wanting to risk their life in a violent resistance against their own government.

    That's a choice every person have to make for themselves. You don't know them. You don't know their situation.

    You seriously need to take a step back and sit down.

    Setting things in fire, erecting barricades, actively fighting authorities and creating chaos, making it impossible to ignore. For examples see the Maiden revolution in Ukraine, Hong Kong protests a few years ago, or any Tuesday afternoon in France.

    Orange revolution and Euromaidan in Ukraine were peaceful protests the government responded violently to them which energized more people.

    In Poland Solidarity also was peaceful and the one that created violence was the government.

    Historically peaceful protests like the above are more effective, because more people are willing to join them.

    Protests against the second Trump administration

    Gaza war protests in the United States

    2025 United States protests against mass deportation

    United States abortion protests (2022–present)

    United States racial unrest (2020–2023)

    These are just the protests. Note that all these links list multiple, recent protests, which actually get media attention on things.

    If you want the stuff that the media doesn't tend to cover as well, you have to look hard (and maybe deal with a paywall and local reporting and realizing that what makes the news isn't all that's happening): ICE raid in Rochester stymied as 2 workers evade arrest, 200 residents protest
