May be phrasing it wrong, but I look at actions like Labor rights, Pride, Civil Rights, Black Panthers, etc. where actions of protesters felt much intense and made more of an impact in actually changing things vs now where there are protests but it feels like it constantly falls of deaf ears.
Have we just not hit that breaking point yet? Have we collectively been beat down so hard? Or have we forgotten how to truly fight for rights? Or… am I just completely off the mark and missing something else?
That wasn’t a fucking protest. Give me a break. There’s a difference between a riot, an insurrection and a protest.
Really? Because it seems to me the only difference is what your preferred media decide to call it.
That was literally a right wing protest about an election result. Protests aren’t always good. All those words you used have broad overlap and generally things escalate from protest to riot to insurrection.
Coup attempts aren’t protests and neither are riots and all the gaslighting in the world won’t change that. That an event can change from one thing to another is meaningless to that fact.
Gaslighting isn’t real and you’re fucking crazy
