[–] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 23 points 8 months ago (4 children) A massive protest, I see. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 51 points 8 months ago* Here's the photographer's Flickr account, you can see the protest was in fact quite well attended. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 3 points 8 months ago Misread that as “passive”. permalink fedilink source parent [+] FatVegan@leminal.space -6 points 8 months ago It's just a little war, not the release of a new iphone. permalink fedilink source parent [+] D_C@sh.itjust.works -18 points 8 months ago (4 children) They'll protest properly about it in about 4ish months. That's the usual time it takes them to get moving on their protests. To be fair though it's very difficult in this day and age of instant communication to contact people to get things moving. And it's definitely not complacency and apathy, oh no. No no no, deffo not that!! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 44 points 8 months ago* (1 child) Huh, turns out if you look into what's happening it's actually a pretty large protest. Capital cops even broke out the protest barricades. Bit of a moot point of course, since trump (edit: and vance?) are at his resort right now, but it's still not a bad turnout for "people literally woke up that morning and found out they needed to protest later that day". Whoda thunk it. Even got some pretty nice looking signs printed out for it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] D_C@sh.itjust.works -2 points 8 months ago (1 child) I am actually quite surprised.

Who knew stereotypes were often wrong. Edit: I get it sucks to be wrong about things on the internet, but this seems like a poor reaction to being shown that your preconceptions aren't accurate. permalink fedilink source parent [–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago (1 child) Which protest are you helping to organize? Or are you good with what's going on? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] D_C@sh.itjust.works -7 points 8 months ago (1 child) Ha, I'm doing fuck all. I don't live in or near america. Nor have I ever wanted to. You can get all indignant about me saying that americans are lazy all you want but that doesn't change the fact that the protests about the fat paedo taking over that country and breaking numerous laws all whilst protecting his chummy fellow paedos are mostly lacklustre. And that's if I'm being polite. If I'm being impolite then they are shite. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago That's ok.
