The police in the US largely side with fascists. They in large part become police officers just to have power over people. No, not all police are like that, but there are always a few in every department, and “a few bad apples spoil the bunch” as they say. Police officers who try to stand up to these people get punished for it. The rot goes deep.
Our police can shoot us dead and people in most of the country will look the other way because law and order, especially if you’re not white. America has been fascist for a long time, it didn’t suddenly start under Trump.
Look at the BLM protests, they were huge, but the sentiment of half of the country was against them and there were many who fantasized about police or vigilantes making the streets run with blood. And in the end the thugs with badges are still well funded and well armed.
As an American, I truly believe we dont protest correctly. Even when theyre done violently they dont institute that much change. Were too afraid to step on the toes of our oppressors. French protests go fucking hard though. Tough to top their revolution where they paraded the corrupt and rich out into the streets to stand in line for a turn at the guillotine. If you ask me, we need to start getting a little more medieval.
A protest in France looks very different than a protest in the states… all I’m saying.
Our police also are a lot different… ours is just an Abrams short of the miltary.
You understand the guy driving the Abrams is also your neighbour right?

My neighbors are mostly MAGAts. So i dont think they’ll be on my side.

And what are you going to do about it?
That face when you see acab and fuck 12 spray painted all over Lyon.
so send some fucking experts to us. at least make some youtube tutorials or something.
The French literally sent you a gigantic statue of a woman holding a torch. Can they get any clearer?
I got it
Do the Women’s Tiki Torch March!
Huh, that’s weird, only Nazis showed up?
I’ve trying to become a giant statuesque torch-wielding woman but it’s very difficult
You’re right. The cops roll up and start shooting people.
Saying americans dont protest correctly isnt looking at the whole picture.
What the fuck is a correct protest? The only thing that matters is the results.
For a country that loves guns you sure don’t fucking use em unless it involves a school or strip mall. A majority of your country is just complacent.
