Um... (looks out window in DC) ... Where?
-
Presumably the national mall. And yesterday.
-
I don't know how many people marched in London but for DC it is mentioned that "thousands" marched... And "hundreds" for Paris and Rome. Maybe London carried this thing
E: It's the same for London, it just says "thousands".
-
-
Almost one million people (combined)
Searching for the DC protest, it just mentions "thousands" which, unless London really carried this, seems like a far cry from the "almost one million".
And for London I just found similar claims of "thousands".
The claim sounds like bullshit to me...

In London, at least, it varies wildly on who is reporting the statistics. The BBC will usually shill for the government, whereas you might have more luck with The Guardian for something a bit less biased - as long as you're not looking at their opinion pieces.
It's a regular battle in the UK. We've had several huge protests that have likely reached hundreds of thousands, where getting out of the area is ten times worse than getting out of Wembley Stadium, yet the BBC have reported "several thousand", or have shown images where it's a small subset of the people there.
-
I didn't really see any reports stating anything other than "thousands". I checked The Guardian and it's the same there. If London and DC were to reach a million or even close to it, you'd expect one or more likely both of them to be in hundreds of thousands.

Probably bad reporter math and it was in the 10s of thousands which the reporter thought was almost 1 million instead of 100,000
-
I guess I could see if someone really messed up their numbers. From thousands to tens of thousands and rounding that (lol) to hundred thousand and then mistaking that for a million.
It's like pyramid scheme accounting

But Military Industrial Complex need make money...
-
Expect to see nothing on mainstream TV.

The only thing that will ever stop the war machine is the death of all humanity.
-
As long as there's two people on the planet, someone is going to want someone dead
-
-
A giant number for sure.
-
I see no mention of this on TikTok or Instagram. Am I being fed a false reality by the algorithm?

-
Oh no, there's way more than a million people. They're not in this image though
-
No, but several in this thread..

Marched against the Iraq war. We were a million there too in London. Got the coach down from my home town to go. They went to war anyway. Industrial war machine doesnt care about people or their voice. Just the money it can make from more war.
It doesn't matter, it is a statement of individual humanity.
it matters
thatthen.Why would they care if all of those people will shut up in two days and go back to consuming as normal? We let our politicians get away with fraud and theft everyday, why would they change if they go unpunished?
