I am very plugged in on the American politics, and yet I have no idea which ones you can mean. This means that either those organisations are small enough so they don’t even break the local social media barrier, or they were so quiet after that, they didn’t even try to do anything on any public level.
Two people were executed on the streets by the regime, and the reaction was less severe than when a shitty musician was shitty.

Don’t be coy, we all know what it’s in reference to. Especially given that some countries on the list actually have pretty lively political activity
Export to US is 11% of Chineese foreign market. Not nothing, but incredibly far from “control”

23·22 hours agoThat’s because they didn’t control the senate, they barely had nominal parity which wasn’t even a true one because there is like you said always be several right wing people from right wing states that are nominally Democrats but don’t support the party consensus. In order to actually control it they need a bigger majority. This conspiracy theory that they do it on purpose is founded on the same principal that alexes joanses of the world are always blabbering about, talking about a shadow government is always fun, but it’s counterproductive.
US is what, 320 million people? And you point one protest and two people killed and use that as an excuse? More kids are being shot at schools daily, it doesn’t stop them from going to school.
“Damn, I would resist the tyranical government, but not if it takes me more than couple of hours to get there. My hands are tied, I could never get to the government building in time.” But then again, you guys didn’t vote that one time because you didn’t know how to buy stamps and googling it was the whole thing, so I get it.
Yeah, that’s the thing about a protest, it doesn’t help unless you have a structure to harness this energy. When police started shooting at protesters in Ukraine in 2014, several political and activist organisations banded together with people, and together they used this fear and anger to resist and ultimately win.
Last time you could feasibly organise a protest in that suspiciously white area was 2019. The guy who did it was tortured to death in prison. In 2022 I was exiting the metro station about a kilometer away from a known protest area in Moscow, got detained by police, and beaten so hard I couldn’t walk for a week, just because I attended said protests in 2019, and the camera network remembered my face.
That might also be the reason for OP picture I assume

33·1 day agoWell, since they didn’t control the Senate and only had marginal control over the House, that would be a weird assumption to be honest.
Yeah, he didn’t have wooden teeth, he had slave’s teeth, teeth he got from slaves that he did own but because he was vewy sowy it doesn’t count.

13·1 day agoDo you mean the bill they introduced this year? How do you suppose they could get a majority on that?

Oh, that’s unfair. Americans aren’t just bad at geography, they’re also shit at reading comprehension, but thanks for the demonstration.
