    Critics are speaking out.

    And will once again be ignored.

    May I point the audience to the protests before the war in Iraq? Biggest worldwide protests in history at that point, and it did fuck all to stop the war.

    When will we learn that change isn’t going to come from being reasonable and pointing to evidence. Those things don’t mean anything to the Capital class.

      Protest only works if there’s a credible threat of violence.

      And even then, like we saw with the calls to defund the police, it only really works in the short-term.

      The people are mostly powerless.

      I see the biggest protest in history as the first Earth Day Protests, which had some absurd number like 1/10 of everyone in the US, out to protest.

      And it solved pollution forever~

        Maybe in America but Iraq protests and Occupy were worldwide.

        Also the population was a lot smaller then.

      Since then the only larger protest was occupy. They didn’t just ignore that one they beat the shit out of it.
