    the apathetic ones are the US Voters

    We’ve repeatedly hit record high turnout during Presidential cycles, even in the face of widespread disenfranchisement.

    There have been 2 large marches… on weekends.

    Far more than two. They’re heavily underreported, but I see (and periodically participate in) marches and rallies at Houston City Hall twice a month, easy.

    Even if the people of the USA who claim to hate this regime bothered to do a free act en mass, like closing your Meta and Xitter accounts

      If you are referring to voter turn out, still the largest group belongs to those who could but did not vote

      Far more than two. They’re heavily underreported, but I see (and periodically participate in) marches and rallies at Houston City Hall twice a month, easy.

      Happy to fill my brain with this good news if you can provide any source

      Definitely would be more efficient than just slacking…

      As soon as your rapist dictator stops killing people around the world, I will take a day off… I know this is likely not something that causes you ANY concern but in this last year, literally tens of thousands of people have been slaughtered by your country’s actions with not even a flimsy justification for it

        Makes a declaration with no substance, is refuted, asks for a source.

        What’s your .ml/hexbear account?

          Buddy, you claimed, with no source, that there are protests twice a month. I am giving you the benefit of the doubt but would like some evidence of your claim

            No, no — see you made the declaration that no protests are happening. Do you understand what the burden of proof means? You made the declaration, they refuted it using 0 sources because you didn’t provide any sources for your claims.

            Because you don’t have any.

            Edit: oh, I looked into the protests they mentioned — they’re absolutely happening, so not only do they not need to provide sources because you are arguing in bad faith, they don’t need to because what they’re saying is true.

              … and again no evidence of these biweekly protests that are totally happening
