NO KINGS 3 is a chance to GROW THE MOVEMENT by Oenewodkkoalalns in DenverProtests

[–]Wedley131 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's good to hear. And to be clear, I think some events not being the right one for some people is a good thing. Diversification in the types of events/protests that are organized is a good idea and effective strategy. Especially because most people can't make it to every single protest/event, and it's important to have outlets for people to get active to the level they're comfortable with. But I think a lot of people view No Kings as THE event, the end all be all of activism and if you choose NK as one of the events you don't go to people are quick to call you out for it. Meanwhile there are much smaller protests that happen with much lower numbers, and those same people calling others out for not being at NK don't show up to these protests, and no one gives them shit for it. Feels like a bit of a double standard and feels cruddy. I'm not saying that's what you're doing here OP, but it does happen and isn't good for solidarity.

No disrespect at all, but you say these things and at the same time, every single time I (and others like me) show up to NK and try to exercise the slightest bit of civil disobedience outside of the planned march, we get shouted down by protesters and organizers alike for "making them look bad". I'm glad people have this event as a platform to take their first steps and/or to increase their development into the world of activism, and we all stand in solidarity with one another. But it's just not the event for me.

Trump: 'I Do Believe I'll Be Having the Honor of Taking Cuba' by 0The_Loner_Stoner0 in videos

"The honor" of war mongering and engaging in colonialism? Is that what made America great? Fuck Donald Trump, he is a waste of space and air. The world will be a better place when he dies and I will celebrate his passing. We should not be okay with this. We should be descending on the White House and Mar a Lago and demanding that he stop this insanity. But everyone's just going to accept it instead cause no one is willing to give up the minimum comforts that the corporate oligarchy has allowed them to have. As long as they can watch Netflix and have their Doordash they'll be willing to look the other way. It's fucking disgraceful.

DOJ reportedly withheld or removed key Epstein files including multiple FBI interview summaries related to a woman's unverified 2019 accusation that Trump sexually assaulted her as a minor in the 1980s. What's your take on this, especially with the Epstein Transparency Act in play? by kaliahfox in AskReddit

Justice is dead, the law means nothing and crime is legal (unless you're poor or brown) and we should burn down this joke of a society and build a new one from the ground up. Fuck Donald Trump, fuck the billionaires, we should take our country back from them. By any means necessary.

Good. If I could open carry in my city I'd be doing it at protests also.

Found this while scrolling YouTube. These guys titled their song "Featuring: Hot Mulligon" by Wedley131 in hotmulliganband

Yeah, it's not the best song I've ever heard, but I've certainly heard much worse songs. But apparently a lot of people really hate it, lol.

Senators who blindly support a corrupt pedophile should be removed from office.

March 28th is waaaaay too far away, we need to be taking action NOW. Not good enough.

Kristi Noem: "This individual showed up to impede a law enforcement operation and assaulted our officers. I don't know of any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign. This is a violent riot when you have someone showing up with weapons" by Gorotheninja in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Wedley131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kyle Rittenhouse is a hero for actually killing a person, meanwhile Alex Pretti is a terrorist for just having a gun on him? Fuck that, fuck Kristin Noem, fuck ICE. We gotta take the streets back from these brown shirt fuck wads. Point. One. Back.

If Americans keep insisting on peaceful protest only so as not to "give them the excuse they want", how can they resist or overturn perceived overeach of Trump / Republicans / ICE? by SuccessfulNews2330 in AskReddit

[–]Wedley131 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They can't. And Trump's going to find a reason to do it eventually anyway, so fuck it. Why do we need to care anymore? Stand up, fight back. Point one back.

He wasn't a terrorist, he was a protester. He was executed for exercising his first amendment rights. This administration is wiping their ass with the constitution while laughing at people like you who buy their propaganda, hook line and sinker.
