source: the turbolibs nearby who have had a Ukrainian flag on their house for three full years have at last taken the faded rag down. Ukraine will probably collapse now without their brave full-scale show of support

          the fucking gall to put “fReE sPeEcH” on there when a big chunk of these libs were busy ignoring (or cheering for) the violent suppression of campus Palestine protests under Biden

            Liberals have no ideology other than arguing about what colour Harry Potter characters are anymore.

        I was talking to my son about seeing protestors when I was out earlier and he said “peaceful protest doesn’t actually do anything though.”

        “Well bud, this is the first step to the state cracking down way too hard on peaceful protestors, then things will get more interesting.”

          Peaceful protests by themselves exclusively don’t achieve any political goals (as long as it’s not funded by the CIA in an unstable region). Protests should be tied to actual action: unionisation, collective bargaining, striking, and teaching of political theory to the masses. And by “tied”, I mean that the people in the demonstration should explicitly be told to support the following, concrete steps already planned before the protest.

            Hell even Rosa Park had to “stage” her act of protest where she became famous for and she didnt work alone. It was an concerted effort by black civil rights groups. The collective effort is erased in liberal history, because of the worship of the individual above the collective.

            Abbie Hoffman was good at this. Abbie Hoffman was also not afraid of a little violence.
