  • Hearing their slogans, which are complaints, a step up from drums and dances,
    I can say that the protests in the US are finally getting slightly less milquetoast.

    "We demand Peter Thiel to resign as a first step!"
    "Murderers!"
    "Move! Out of the way! Let us through!"

    Would be better though.

    • Hey Hey, Ho Ho! Insert some politician has got to go!

      • Yeah, so that slogan needs to go and be replaced by something more serious than that.
        I've heard that song too many times without anyone going.

        People need to know that "a beautiful sight to behold"
        had people with props going for photo ops,
        made chain links for photo ops,
        created barricades and attacked the police,
        build statues of foreign nations for photo ops,
        flew to foreign countries to recieve prizes for photo ops,
        patrolled neighbourhoods to beat up counterprotesters there,
        invaded government buildings,
        set trains on fire,
        set people on fire,
        attempted to derail trains and set off bombs.

        All in the name of "freedom" for an extradition law that was instigated to
        put an active murderer behind bars (that guy is now walking free).
        And with demands that said that nothing they did or will do is illegal
        and that instead the police should be investigated for malpractice
        and be send to jail if any wrongdoing was found.

        What it did not have and other protests don't are signs that say
        "If you're X and you do not protest, then you're with them"
        and shop lootings,
        with the latter, the US Republican media constantly harps on.

        If that's a "beautiful sight to behold" according to most US politicians,
        then any US citizen should demand the right to have the same rights
        as the Hong Kong protesters demanded.

        1. Full withdrawal of ICE and the Alien Enemies Act
        2. A commission of inquiry into alleged ICE brutality
        3. Retracting the classification of protesters as anything but protesters
        4. Amnesty for all arrested protesters no matter the action done
        5. Abolishment of the first past the post system

        But you could ask for more than that, because ICE raids
        and building concentration camps do not equate with
        an extradition law that would have affected
        maybe 6 people in a decade.

        I remember the George Floyd protests had a little bit of that,
        when people marched through gated communities,
        and attacked police and counterprotesters,
