I’m envious of the way the French protest their government. They’re literally setting things on fire because their schools aren’t adequate. Because the government tried to raise the retirement age. Because their politicians are shitbags.

I think the biggest obstacle to organizing in the US is the sheer distance. It takes 40 solid hours of driving to get from one side to the other. That’s not counting any breaks. France takes about 14 hours. Doable in a day or so if you push it.

Anyway, I’d sign up for a Revolution if there was a serious contender.

    Yeah are you familiar with the fairy creek protest, at all? Lol. Like I’m not throwing stones in glass houses, bud. I’m ready to die for my nation defending it against American aggression, should it come to that.

      I’m not your bud and your the one who got very clearly chipped because you got called out for a protest against not nearly as militarized a force.

      I have no problem giving props where they’re due but you civil liberties were violently infringed by authorities, authorities over here film snuff and the mass media calls the victims terrorists.

      I respect the work you did “if it’s true you participated” but know the difference.
