Showing up to a weekend get together to dance and sing Kumbaya is "doing something" the same way spinning your tyres by pushups the gas while stuck in the mud is "doing something".
You're "doing something" while achieving jack-fucking-all.
sometimes it's better to work together to defeat a common enemy than argue over nonsense like whether orphans should be fed or some strip should be bombed
I guess I should go tell all the leftists I've converted over the years from American republicanism they're all still republican according to some rando on the internet, since I didn't actually change any mindsets.
Have fun with your defeatist attitude and thought-terminating statements, I guess.
we're really posting this fucking right-wing ghoul? this guy is a gay basher, an antisemite, and collabs with nick fuentes for fuck sake. he doesn't care about any of this, he's just taking pot shots at a single video that went semi-viral.
Liberals are spineless cowards who do not know how to protest. They do everything that they can to defend the system as it is, regardless of how oppressive it is.
Doesn't happen nearly as often as it needs to, but.. Americans do protest like this. After 2020 everybody freaked out and voted to quintuple all the police budgets because Americans did this, actually. The problem is there's no solidarity when it happens, everyone trips over themselves to condemn the evil violence of harming the buildings and THEN looks at other countries like "why don't WE do this???"
Tbf it will be similar in France. These protests and the chaos that comes with it pretty much secure a victory for Le Pen in the coming elections. Damned if you do, damned if you don't (protest).
Is the French government literally slavering for an excuse to declare martial law to avoid the next election? President begging for a reason to start shooting political opponents?
Thanks for the terminally online pastime of making fun of people who actually went outside.

Well... Yes.
They're literally putting curfews in major cities, talking about social media black holes, and talking about banning the most popular leftist party from the next elections.
Police are literally killing and maiming kids in the street as we speak.
Thanks for the terminally American pastime of thinking you're unique.
Edit: to the terminally dumb Americans downvoting, I suggest you look at what's happening in France. Not what your liberal media is talking about, but what is really happening.

Knowing macron probably. They're also currently cracking down in the manner you describe AND like the usa would be happy to invent a reason to if people didn't
That's the fucking problem, you will wait....we need millions to do this if we have any chance. No matter how much destruction I would want to commit to make a change. But that is the problem. I am one man they quickly arrest ne and shut me down. Look what happen to Lugi. We needed millions of like mind individuals then maybe healthcare would been fired.
Yes I will wait, I ain’t Americ*n. I just find it funny that so many of you look to France like “that’s what we need to do” then do fuck all about it, hoping someone else will organise it. And then when someone does, they use Facebook, Instagram or Twitter and act surprised when accounts get blocked.
The left is not ready for a John Brown. Without an organized socialist party to capitalize on the revolutionary moment, an attempt at accelerationism will just result in a fascist crackdown.
John Brown’s attack on Harper’s Ferry kicked off the civil war because there was a strong and organized abolition movement that had a sympathetic federal government. The antifascist movement today is neither strong nor organized, nor does it have any sympathetic power holders.
What we actually need is a Lenin. Someone with the charisma and genius to organize the left and into a proper working class movement.
And if that happens I'll take a few of them with me while you bitch on Lemmy that people you don't know aren't doing things you'd never do in their situation.
lol no you won't, you'll just make up another excuse for inaction… exactly how you now pretend holding a sign equals getting your hand blown up by a granade

yeah let's make fun of the people who actually showed up and did anything.
no fucking wonder there's no unity on the left
Sneako is definitely not a leftist.

Liberals are NOT on the left, never have been
But liberals have never been on the Left. Please take your US centric idealism elsewhere. Liberalism is pro capitalism.
You're assuming that every liberal is a neoliberal.
This is an incorrect assumption.
I’ll just add my comment wasn’t in favor of neoliberalism. It was removed for being “liberalism” which only proves my point.
There are practically no liberals that aren't neo liberals these days so I don't see where you're going with that
Except, you know, all of the progressives in the upcoming election.

I agree. Let's stop debating whether right wingers are right wing or not
Ukraine must have missed your data center, eh?
The only ones susceptible to propaganda is liberals like yourself
Picture of people waving American flags.
You're not on the fucking left if you're waving American flags.
"no fucking wonder there's no unity on the left"
Makes it harder for conservatives to dismiss you as somehow hating America if you have American flags all over.
If waving a flag makes a conservative rethink that talking point, what else will they begin to question?
I do hate America.
And, no, nothing will change by making conservatives think things and it accomplishes nothing to even try.
Wow, you can see the future???

Oof people don't like to hear the truth it seems
How about we don't talk shit about protesters? Y'all complain nobody is protesting then make fun of people who are.
If the cops, media, and oligarchy are on your side, you are not protesting

He's not wrong
He is wrong and is making a false equivalence.

Yeppp American protestors burned down police stations in 2020
Tbf it will be similar in France. These protests and the chaos that comes with it pretty much secure a victory for Le Pen in the coming elections. Damned if you do, damned if you don't (protest).
Yeeep
Sneako is a piece of shit.
Anyone who upvoted this is a moron.
Or has no idea who the fuck Sneako is. First time I heard of him, dare I ask why exactly he's a piece of shit?
Pals around with Andrew Tate and is part of the "manosphere".
That's enough for me to steer wide clear. Thanks, I genuinely hadn't heard of him before.
He also argued for lowering the age of consent, and supports child marriage.
The people doing the electric slide are also morons.
No, you're just mad because they're not trying to get themselves killed.
Reddit like aggression and manipulative assumptions for no reason. Super.
Sneako, a known fascist glazer and misinformation distributor.
Remember "Occupy Wall Street?" What happened to that?
It was squashed by the Obama administration
Why are we giving even a flitting moment of attention to the douchebag, known paedo excuser sneako?
TIL that literally only these people protested
You can do the same thing with looters in Europe
Americans only make fun of the French because they don't know jack shit about history.
One of my favorite historical facts is how France mass-deleted Nazis after WWII. Literally.
As long as you don't look into what the French were up to in Africa
They didnt delete enough, apparently, because Le Pen is still here.
Deleted? I thought the Nazis were human not data /s
No need to self sensor here, in fact the fediverse will attract annoying comments like this one if you do.
Fair point.
I'm a Youtuber so I suppose it's just become a habit. :)

the more you squeeze a balloon the faster it pops
Went outside and did nothing
Be the change you want to see in the world… I’ll wait
That's the fucking problem, you will wait....we need millions to do this if we have any chance. No matter how much destruction I would want to commit to make a change. But that is the problem. I am one man they quickly arrest ne and shut me down. Look what happen to Lugi. We needed millions of like mind individuals then maybe healthcare would been fired.

I love how the GOP is blaming immigrants, when it's just French culture.
It is my understanding that the French Cha Cha Slide while exploding things.
We need a John Brown.

Please don't hate me but are the riots in France working?
they tend to
Hey what about ditching a few bales of tea in Boston harbor again? It got their attention last time!
hey, if you want to sign up to get your hand blown off by a fucking grenade, be my guest, I got a job I need to keep lmao
There, FIFY
Our police won't flinch at shooting protesters for real. Our healthcare is tied to our employment.
It's easy to be tough on the Internet but I guarantee that you wouldn't do shit if you were in our shoes.
Don't worry, they'll come for you eventually anyway.
And if that happens I'll take a few of them with me while you bitch on Lemmy that people you don't know aren't doing things you'd never do in their situation.
lol no you won't, you'll just make up another excuse for inaction… exactly how you now pretend holding a sign equals getting your hand blown up by a granade
What are you doing? What have you done?
I'm Canadian... so mostly boycott all things USA
How about you? what have you done?
