You can do stuff in front of the White House as long as you're a nobody and it doesn't actually threathen powerful interests. How many of these protests where nobody was arrested, actually resulted in change? What's the point of protesting if nothing ever changes? Thousands of children have already been killed in Gaza, but we can protest in front of the White House while the killing continues, and that makes us better than $OTHERCOUNTRY. Why are you content with a circus like that? What's even the point of comparing with $OTHERCOUNTRY if you don't have effective power to change for the better at home? Shouldn't we set higher standards for ourselves?
I think it's really, really weird that some people care more about how bad $OTHER is than problems at home.
- bsaul 2y agoi think a wide majority of americans are perfectly fine with the way israel responded after oct 7, and that is why the US policy doesn't change. I'm happy a handful of people protesting can't impact a policy, that would be anti-democratic.
