public protest is not illegal in the US, and property destruction is illegal everywhere else too. american exceptionalism as an excuse not to protest or riot lol

one time i saw a young woman at a peaceful (lol) public protest sit down in an otherwise empty intersection that had been ordered cleared by the police

when she refused to get up, they hit her in the chest with a grenade

If cops shoot protesters in the chest with a grenade without suffering any consequences... it kinda does...?

Like, how is it legal, at that point?

✨sparkle and shine✨

it is legal (except where it is made illegal for the comfort and convenience of the people that the protest wishes to be uncomfortable and inconvenienced), but it is not safe

fear not, Ham Equity: the punishment you will receive for protesting is not a legal punishment, but an extralegal punishment!

Sort of off topic but can anyone explain discount programs like GoodRX? It’s totally hit or miss but sometimes it brings down the cost of medications by like 50% but it’s not insurance so I’m not sure what the gently caress anyone is getting out of this arrangement
It turns out GoodRX was selling your data. They won't do it any more. Pinky swear.

then youre hopelessly naive and/or european

you have no idea how fascist the us is, zero. the only labor solidarity in the us is between police, who can kill or imprison with impunity

this isnt greece, where throwing molotov cocktails at cops is something that just happens. we use tanks on unarmed protestors here, and our cops have air forces

edit: friendly reminder that multiple US states/localities have tried to make criticism or filming of police a crime.

america loves the boot, it craves the boot, it needs the boot. we want slavery, trump, and the olive garden.

This came up in the Ukraine thread, but the one time Germans actually protested against the Holocaust, the Rosenstrasse protest, the protestors won, no violence was used against them, and memos show the Nazi party was immediately concerned and responsive to public protest against one of their policies.

Contemporary Liberalism, is literally more heavy handed and less responsive than Naziism.

I've had a cop point a gun to my face for refusing to be corralled into a Free Speech Zone. It was Louisiana. They kill here with no provocation, so I relented. Maybe I'm a coward.

No one has tried to kill me for protesting, but that's because all the protests I've participated in were clearly going to be ineffectual.

Since the turn away from industrial labour in the 1970's, there's no real reason, materially, for protests to be listened to. What are you going to do? How could you actually hurt them in a meaningful way? Your protests don't impact stock prices and spreadsheets.

Compare to general strikes and protests crippling industrial economies, and thus leading to a response addressing their demands. In 1968, the French economy was practically shut down. Occupy, critically, did not actually occupy Wall Street in the same way that occupying docks and factories did - by shutting down productivity.
