    On it’s own, it doesn’t matter at all. You can’t protest against those who don’t recognise your humanity. The exact lesson from apartheid here in south Africa. There is no peaceful way to oppose ideologies based on violence.

        If they know you are just peaceful you will be ignored. As has already happened in the USA. You don’t understand what I said because you were taught a nonsense history of SA.

        Exactly. And for all of this “the exact lesson from apartheid” we’re all supposed to have taken to heart about the uselessness of non-violent protest, remind me again because it’s been some thirty years since I last heard about it . . . where is apartheid now?

        I love when these fifth columnists show up to shit on any individual effort toward change, no matter how tiny, and to shower any “I can” idea with contempt, because it tells me who they are, and confirms that my own infinitesimal contribution, in combination with millions of other like contributions, is anything but useless.

      It mattered enough for the administration to act out, post AI, and create competition stories to have anything else to talk about

      This fascist administration and fake fox news both disagree with you

        Fascists are all about controlling the narrative. Any time we can seize that from them, they will be impacted. Trump has been trying desperately for months to encite violence and riots so he can justify massive military intervention. So far, his use of the national guard on peaceful cities is being met with contempt and resistance by the majority of Americans. Even his base is getting frustrated.

        It sucks, but this is what winning looks like when we have a president, house, senate, and Supreme Court all captured by a hostile party looking to dismantle and divide the country.
