If anyone wondered what would have happened in the US if the US had a wave of protests similar to Hong Kong… This is what would have happened. In fact, this protest seems better organized, more structured, and a little awe inspiring to be honest
Now the question is if the students can organize en masse and march on the capital to occupy the Capitol.
You don’t match on the capitol unless you want to be painted with the same brush as the Jan 6 Rioters.
Even Caesar knew what crossing the Rubicon meant, and would result in.
Coordinated peaceful protests are the only way to go
These kids are already being attacked by state security forces using more weaponry than the Jan 6 traitors were facing and your conclusion is we need more peace?
HK was hugely coordinated though. It would be like if not just a campus but the whole city was in on it because they knew they didn’t have a choice, and the tactics were more specific to what would work against the CCP, not the US. If it was in another country that wasn’t an oppressive autocracy, it would probably have been very effective.
Edit: hey downvote if you want, but tell me something like this doesn’t take coordination:

Their oppressive autocracy vs our (?)
That’s exactly what they should do. Take this energy to DC and storm the Capital.
You guys really try to use that to make it less of an issue.

Where’s the next Kent State? The weapons and armor are much bigger this time.
Ohio is red these days and the college still exists, don’t take away their shots at history!
Blue state, blue governor, blue mayor, blue senators, you physically cannot get more blue if you tried.
And yet, here we are
“…a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them.”
Even the thin blue line is actually red apparently.
There’s 0 difference between Red Team and Blue Team. They’re both the same team.
The blue team is slightly better at pinkwashing their imperialism though
Regardless of what side of the issue being protested you are on if you are in favor of cops in riot gear breaking up a peaceful protest, you are a traitor to our country.
It’s that simple. You cannot stand for American values and cheer that a peaceful protest was dismantled by government goons.
How to turn protesters into radicals.
Honestly the police are the ones keeping the movement alive by basically forcing the media to cover it.
If there were no police or insane counter protestors it would have been easy for the media to ignore. Like how many days in a row can you have a segment that’s basically like “Let’s go down the ground, yup protestors are still here… back to you” before the audience gets bored
Funny how whenever literal nazis gather and protest cops are nowhere to be found
No, they’re there, just not in uniform.
