True you can protest and be blinded by rubber bullets, run over by vigilante trucks, and be ignored by legislators. Freedom baby~

i'd like to introduce you to a bunch of my comrades who protested the genocide of Palestinians on college campuses

i want you to tell them they're very free to protest in the USA and their efforts have viable effects. You might have to do it in person since some of them still can't see through the pepper spray and can't hear very well from their head injuries

Which country do you live in?

If it's the US I'd suggest you focus on criticizing your own country first.

If it's another country the US probably has far more geopolitical influencer over your country than China does, so you're still using your time better criticizing them.
