    Guns are NOT the next step to holding signs. Americans have been brainwashed by their media to immediately jump to blasting away with their AK.

    Look at how other countries protest. I mean REALLY protest. The French don’t pull out guns when they’re unhappy with their government. They block the streets, shut down industry, paralyze government and they keep it up until things change. And it works.

      It works because law enforcement in Europe wont open fire on unarmed, protesting civilians. I wouldn’t trust american law enforcement to behave similar.

        They’re already murdering people in the streets. You say it’s dangerous to protest. I say it’s dangerous not to.

          I think most americans are too pacified and value their lives more than their freedom, even tho that’s the main selling point of that shithole of a country and what people are most proud of over there lmao.

      Do that in America and various militarized agencies will kill you after they declare you a terrorist.

        They’ll do that anyway, even if you’re just dropping off your kid at school.
