The revolution will not be televised
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.
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.
Peaceful protests work because they get you out and you meet like-minded people and act together as a community.
It you go out there hoping for instant change, then you're missing the point. You need to talk to people, exchange contacts, schedule more get-togethers, look to talk with your local government as a group, amass enough votes to get someone among you as a representative or their staff.
Do this in enough cities that the protests took place and then it's done.
The NY Times was a leading cheer leader of the Third Reich, and they are a leading cheer leader of the fourth.
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.
Almost like peaceful protests can be ignored by capital owners or politicians.
It's really not. I just checked. At least not in the online version.
There has been no mention of it in Swedish media either. The shooting of Melissa Hortman and her husband was covered, but nothing about the No kings afaik.
Thats because peaceful protests are not a threat to the status quo they profit from
Reminds me of how Colin Kaepernick demonstrating an unambiguously peaceful display of protest during the Black Lives Matter protests, and a bunch of people still got upset about it.
They'll attack any sort of protest. They just want you to sit back and take it. Anything that doesn't go according to their plans is a problem. Not consuming enough, not working enough, not having enough kids? All problems.
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.
Shits all over the place. Stop with this nonsense.
They're all state controlled. I cant tell you often enough.
Capitalism is not a free system. The media only says what it is supposed to say. That has been proven countless times.
The reason why some mainstream media posts "critical" articles is to make the ruse believable.
Please read anti imperialist sources and be prepared to have the crudest awakening possible.
What we in the west call "propaganda" by eastern states is mostly true and our understanding of "history* is mostly false. We are the baddies.
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...
