    I wish we had a small percent of what France does for its consumer rights in the United States.

      That’s because we don’t set shit on fire every time the government looks at us wrong.

          Impossible when 30% of the country is addicted to a 100% propaganda channel

              The other 70% consider political activism posting memes on places like this.

                Bringing awareness to issues (even through memes) is a good way to get people who are capable of fighting in on the fight.

                What also tends to happen though is that when an issue gets popular, some people jump on the bandwagon for the dopamine hit that comes from the attention they get when they make content about the issue. Hell, even when they don’t make it. I’ve seen stickied comments on clips of popular music videos (just one ridiculous example) posted by fans where they’re saying shit like, “Oh my god guys! Thank you so much for all the likes and comments! I didn’t expect this to be so big!” Ummm, it’s a Beatles clip my guy. You didn’t do anything but reupload a bit of it in short form. You out here acting like you just a member of the band caught off guard by how many people like you.

                I always have to be a dick and ask, “Oh, you made this?”

                The real reason the 2A exists and continues as-is: it lets those elites in control rile up the stupid masses (that they keep that way) to literally murder the people trying to fix how fucked up shit has become

          I agree, but it’s also worth noting the influence of police forces, riot police, swat teams, and the national guard.

          The US basically has an occupying army to quell unrest in every county across the country, so it’s harder to properly protest without state retaliation. Not to say we shouldn’t do it, but I can understand people’s reticence.

        You’re right. We have idiots setting themselves on fire in front of courthouses instead.

          Oh so I’m guessing it did come out he was doing it for Trump? Because the one who did it in protest of the our support of Israel was looked at as a kind of a hero here.

            The reporting I’ve seen was that he had been hanging around the courthouse for a few days and was obviously mentally unwell but he essentially thinks Biden and Trump are working together to establish a fascist state and it all heavily involves Peter Thiel. I didn’t read it but someone made a word cloud of his pamphlet and it was all over the place and even involved conspiracy theories of yore that have been supplanted by QAnon and vaccine stuff.

            So, I guess bipartisan?

            He threw conspiracy theory pamphlets in the air beforehand, so safe bet it was for Trump.

          He says rights plural, so it must be parties plural.

      I think it’s lobbying. The US market is so big it pays off to lobby hard.
