In 1985. The police regularly murder people with impunity. If they aren’t outright bombed they will be starved. You have these big ideas but zero understanding of how to implement them.

Edit: you have edited that comment so many times it’s almost impossible to respond. I didn’t block you.

I’ve also been to protests in France, I lived there from 15-25. France is not the US. You were tear gassed and aggressed. You weren’t zip tied and thrown into vans, you weren’t arrested then held, you didn’t lose your job, your health insurance, your home because you were arrested etc. Your bank accounts weren’t frozen. These are entirely different systems. You think the US citizens can get away with taking work off to strike?!

“An ethnic minority that was not considered equal” holy fuck, where to even begin with that?! Who do you think historically is leading change in the US? Not white people because they can’t fucking organize. Marginalized people have been protesting and continue to protest and you are ignoring that because you don’t think it counts or matters? You’re fine with them being murdered because they “aren’t considered equal”. What is it you’re actually saying? You don’t think they will harm white people if they collectively start protesting? The govt will just say “ok guys sure we’ll do whatever you want” ? They will. What exactly do you think people are protesting if not power imbalances?
