A ton of Europeans here hold the belief anything less than storming the street and shooting people isn't a worthy way to protest in America and they will tell you as much.
Not really, personally I and a lot of Europeans hold the belief that in order for anything to be done you actually need to be doing those things. Sorry I can't share your happiness about a bunch of people walking around the street that one time, while your child rapist in chief rapes both you and the rest of the world.
Don't like criticism of your inaction, actually do something about it.
Not just Europeans on this team. Watching from Canada and being told nothing can be done but a street march on a sunny Saturday while our own governing schmucks start instituting laws to appease and move our country toward fascism on the lead of the fuckers south of us, is god damn terrifying.
I won't be silent about it either. About 'murica or Canada. 'muricuns are letting a fascist dictator control them and affect lots of others around the world. Canadians are allowing our PM to do the same just much slower and with more smiles and handshakes.
Okay, so how many people have you killed to advance your political position?
It's a bit telling that the only way to advance your political position you can think of is killing people.
That was your stance buddy. I'm just trying to find out if your a hypocrite or a murderer.
