Questions are excuses nowadays. Good to know. 👍🏻
Comment on It's a wild life out there!
PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 1 day agoMore ‘we cant do anything because xyz’ arguments. There are protests outside of Paris. Here in Canada, an infintely sparser population, the railroads were shut down over the pipeline in 2020. We literally saw store shelves here on the east coast get emptier because the trains werent running.
Are Americans lacking any and all imagination that all they can think of doing is non-disruptive protests.
Dont get me wrong, Im sure there is creative action happening down there but my god all the comments are full of excuses.

Americans are trained through 12 years of public education to become docile if or when they protest.
The only characters of the Civil Rights movement that are mentioned in public school are MLK and Rosa Parks.
Practically no mention of Malcom. Everything I learned of the Black Panthers through my public school career, was from watching Forest Gump. BLA? Fannie Lou Hamer? Ruthie? Never heard of 'em.
Obviously pacifism is the way to get your message across, right?
Except it fell on deaf ears until black men and women started showing up armed.
