I often see this mentioned and I don't really get it. What did people actually do besides voicing their concerns and cozily waiting for the next election cycle?
Oh wow, people understood that their country is waging a war on the other side of the planet, hooray! What did they do about it exactly? Look at Assange's sorry state.
At least Russians had balls to burn some military enlightenment offices.
Western protests (except French, French are cool) are basically fun festivities.
- kranke155 3y agoWhat did you expect ? That mass movements to remove and impeach an American president would coalesce against a war he was launching 10,000 miles away? How exactly would that proceed in your imagination ?
- foverzar 3y agoHonestly, not much. What makes me cringe is the fact that people pose as this is some kind of a virtue. C'mon, these people live in an environment where protests are not only unrestricted, they are endorsed to some degree as a vent-out method that allows people to feel good about themselves, and governments to continue their bloody business, so people can simply excuse themselves on the next election cycle, while profiting from the spoils of war.
