Nobody else was so loud and obnoxious about guns. Kids need to die for the right to have guns. Theater goers need to die. Church attendants, festival dancers, more kids, some more kids, another church, some university students…
That’s because the Americans who were saying that are all either in favour of ICE or working for them. But there are just as many Americans who did not shout about the right to own guns because they could see all the problems with them, and many of these Americans are quietly organizing resistance. I’m not in the USA and I won’t judge American people for not picking up a gun and mounting a solitary suicidal attack on better-armed Nazi thugs. Proper resistance takes numbers and organization, and Americans have been trained to be inexperienced at collective action.
That said, some of the scenes in Minneapolis show that collective action can work against thugs like ICE. They are cowards in the end, and you need enough people to resist in small ways for it to be effective.
Well, they didn’t do much about guns then and they’re not doing much about anything now.
In the UK, the guy who recommended a guy who appeared on the files, just resigned. In the US the top pedo is president and people just continue to going to work and living their lives.
You see it here on lemmy too, which is even more politically active as the average person. Distance, money, health insurance… any excuses.
See what French people do every time they want to raise their retirement age.
