    What you’re not understanding is that quashing a protest with force doesn’t make the anger just go away.

    Thankfully I don’t think US authorities are anywhere close to PRC or Russia levels of force

    The US is only trying to end Habeas Corpus, cracking down on free speech, personal and social freedoms, deploying military units in the streets, planting secret police in protests, and is currently kidnapping, disappearing, and sending people to foreign labor camps without trial while wearing masks and not giving any identifiable information… All while supporting and funding an ongoing internationally-recognized genocide.

    Maybe you should be doing the reading…

      Please don’t try to guess what I think, understand or don’t understand, because you are arguing against a straw man of your own making.

      Given that your account is 4 days old I’m going to leave it there. I have no interest in engaging someone who may be a bad-faith troll. We can have another talk if you’re still around in a month or so.

        LMAO. If you ignore the point I’m making in 3 consecutive comments, I’m going to assume you don’t understand. You should take your own advice, you literally told me to go read about the riots!

        And surely you’ve heard about about lemm.ee and slrpnk.net? No?
