IDF locked the comments so I’m complaining here.

Yep I saw when that reddit post got created and decided to harm myself by reading it when it had only like 30 comments.
Time to dive back in and harm myself some more
At least one thread of comments is complaining about the astroturfing.
True but it then devolves into “everyone who disagrees with me is a bot”
Like there are influence and propaganda campaigns on Reddit but it’s also the case that the majority pf Americans are irredeemable on the subject of Palestine
Remember when reddit comment sections were generally reasonable and intelligent?
Nobody who thinks this was ever true can be taken seriously
No matter what your opinions of this demonstration are, I do appreciate that we have the freedom to engage in such protests. Would such a gathering be possible in Putin’s Russia, or in China under the CCP’s rule?
Eglin isn’t even trying any more
…Weren’t they fist pumping the war protests in Russia a couple years ago?
in liberal memory all those protestors were shot and killed and then forced to drink novichok and then dropped out of a skyscraper.
Wait they drink it after they’re killed? Truly barbaric!
Entertain for a second the idea that the Bad Countries won’t let you protest. So they think it’s a choice between:
- A Bad Country that won’t let you protest, because they’d beat and arrest you and then change nothing; or
- A Good Country where they let you protest, beat and arrest you for doing so, then change nothing
What exactly is the supposed difference?
Would such a gathering be possible in Putin’s Russia
idk maybe, maybe not. Russia is a capitalist oligarchy like the US. And the US has been cracking down on protests under the context of “muh private property” for weeks now.
or China under the CCP rule?
Yes, absolutely. This notion that they don’t allow protests in China or Cuba is nuts, there’s probably more protests in China than in the US.
They have to pretend protests in china don’t exist because protests in china usually lead to the government changing things
