    “But, but, but the us country is huge. We can’t be expected to protest about something all the way over there…”

    Oh, is all of Europe protesting in unity when protests are happening in Paris? i must have missed that.

      I mean… What is a shitty little protest in Madrid gonna do to Brussels? You are comparing apples to oranges.

      Protesting local matters, like French people being pissed about French shit makes sense. The French understand their power structure well.

      Protesting continental matters is considerably more tricky, because of the distance involved.

          And you see how well the anti isreal genocide protests are going… So appreciate you making my point for me.

          Protesting in Houston does fuckall to Washington in the immediate.

      Not at the moment. But that’s mainly because other countries shouldn’t really be invading each other over domestic issues!

      However there was a huge ‘protest’ about 90 years ago when a useless dictator tried to overtake a massive part of the world. You really should look up history about it and see how they tackled that dictator, they didn’t have today’s technology and that ‘protest’ spanned a huge area.
      It’d be very helpful, though that does require you putting a bit of effort in…
