Those delusional freedom lovers with their low-class demands for better representation. Next thing you know, they might start looting tea and throwing it in the harbour.

Moscow 2011/2012 winter protests were like this too. I guess we barely hit 50k/event.

Unfortunately results are really discouraging.

Sorry if you missed the sarcasm. The looting comment was making a comparison with the Boston Tea Party to point out that many countries are founded in protest and that to belittle the effect it can have makes a mockery of history.

I for one am waiting for the looting of LV and Gucci bags.

It's going to be epic.

I should probably have laid the sarcasm on a bit thicker.
