Well I hope one of them does

On the plus side, we're going to see a lot more funding for superconductor research

Look how the military treated people in Iraq

Better than the police treats people in the US?

"Starving?"

I bet surgeons hate you

I also recommend It Could Happen Here

That's exactly it.

He's been fundraising for his legal defense and now people don't want to pay for Republicans to campaign since the voterbase gave Trump all they could spare and more

Where to learn how to protest? I'd look into the great ones of the modern age: The Indian Independence, US Civil Rights, and Gay Rights movements are all good examples of effective protest movements.

The important person you're blocking is your future ally.

You want an alternative? Find a fossil fuel executive's car and block that in. Block the entrance to an oil refinery, or a trash incinerator. Sit in the lobby of the corporate office of Exxon-Mobil. Find an unimpeachable member of your movement, like Rosa Parks was, and use her to garner sympathy for your cause when she gets persecuted for something everyone agrees is wrong.

Blocking random roads and calling it protest is like calling a knocked over paint can "Modern Art". You're just pretending you know what artists do and everyone can tell.

You're referencing well planned and executed protests. They picked their targets and actors to garner sympathy from the public.

The difference is that the original post is claiming that any protest anywhere is just as valid. It isn't. Blocking random roads does nothing but turn people who just want to get to work against you. They aren't agents of Capitalism moving to oppress us, they're your neighbors and the people you want to be turning to your cause.

By all means, if you're agitated about an issue to protest, please do. Block a road, maybe. But be damn sure you pick the right road to block.

It'd need some pretty strong regulation, but it could work out very well

Anyone else think it's because the RNC is low on money?

I remember hearing reports of difficulties fundraising since Trump never stopped since 2016 and the wells are running dry

There's a colony ship in The Expanse named Mark Watney, so I like to think it's the same timeline

I disagree with you. The 3rd was a response to the very real practice by the British army where they'd show up and tell the owner that they have to house soldiers in their home.

Why haven't these people been charged? Or at least found??

This happened 2 days ago at the time of your comment, it seems a bit early to claim nothing's being done

His voters don't want the instability of a secession*

They're probably still in the planning stages at this point

Atlanta isn't a country, which ones are you talking about?

Sure.

And until you find that job, having something to do in the evenings is how to avoid the feeling that life is just waiting for the weekends

For obvious reasons

For one, nothing they seized will be admissible in court, and anyone who was convinced based on that search can appeal their conviction.

It's not nothing to those effected
