Nah we haven't protested. The French are protesting. When you can see fire, that's when you know you're protesting. Marching with banners does fuck all.

We had plenty of fires during BLM. Little changed.

Nah those were quickly rejected by the BLM leadership as "not one of ours"

In my city, we had a month of enormous BLM protests. The result was an increase police budget and less funding for schools and parks.

I honestly don't see that kind of mostly peaceful mass protest as productive anymore.

Exactly what will rioting do? Have you seen the aftermath of Baltimore and Detroit?

Have you seen the aftermath of Mariupol and Bahmut - this is what happened after the Russian people decided not to riot against the corrupted government.

You're comparing war torn cities to US cities?

With the way U.S. citizens are retreating to ever further extremes of their chosen political ~cult~ party and villainizing anyone even remotely resembling "the other", how much longer before U.S. cities are "war torn" too? What ever happened to United States citizen? Nowadays it's almost literally you're Democrat, Republican, or an enemy of both. (I guess that puts me squarely in the "no longer a proper citizen" camp, as I've zero "patriotism" left in this "everyone against everyone else" environment we call "civilized society".)
