    I think in the US you would see this if people felt like they were choosing between dying and dying. If it was die in a riot or starve to death or die of exposure for example. Right now it’s suicide by cop or pretend everything is fine. I think if the US didn’t have insane violent thugs in surplus military gear driving armored vehicles as law enforcement you would see a lot more “action”. The math just doesn’t add up if you know acting this way will likely end up with you dying.

      This is what the rest of the world doesn’t understand. It’s been demonstrated in history. Everyone thinks USA Mickey Mouse and Coka Cola! It’s more like the saw movies.

        Yeah it’s not my fault I’m a coward, the rest of the world never had to fight in the face of death for their rights so they wouldn’t understand.

        Huh actually they do understand seeing as most of them did have to do that.

        It is all Mickey Mouse and Coca-Cola. And by that I mean they have you fat and distracted.

        Speaking of Mickey Mouse go watch andor again and tell yourself how brave and righteous you were while you watched.

          You’re not a coward. You probably never had a gun to your face or bled for six hours, talk about a roller coaster of thoughts.

            They keep telling themselves it’s so much tougher to protest in America than it is for France. Whatever makes you feel better.
