Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

You’ve got the problem right there in your first sentence - Saturday Oct 18. It needs to last weeks/months until the regime is gone.

A single day, where and when they allow (so they can ignore it) does nothing substantive. Prolonged and widespread unrest is the key.

Don't forget DISRUPTIVE. Italy and France show us that making it not just "uncomfortable", but actual hell to work with, works.

[–] Pondis@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Didn't the French just dump a load of trash in the roads to block traffic?

Got to hand it to them, THAT is how you cause a disruption.

That and the guillotine I guess.

[–] telllos@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Stop with the guillotine already. If you could just a least, be mad, break stuff and disrupt the cities in masss. That would be a start. The only thing that looked like a real protest was the BLM ones

But you like your corpos tooo much.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 4 weeks ago

Dump a shitton of guillotines in the street.

Oh, be fair!! They had that other no kings protest just last...nearly 4 fucking months ago!!
Wow, every 3 to 4 months. I bet the orange child rapist and his Gestapo cronies are shaking in their boots about it!!!
