Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA?

Getting sick of Europeans falling for the blatant suppression and propaganda that our corporate-elite overlords are spoon-feeding them and using that to act superior.

Why shouldn’t they be? Americans have long had a superiority complex, always confidently mocking the problems of others around the world as if they were immune to them. It may feel bad for you now but the schadenfreude the rest of the world feels is completely justified. Frankly, the way some of you are suddenly crying about the rest of the world being mean to you is only further contributing to this image of Americans thinking they are above everyone else.

My problem isn’t that rhetoric targeting anti-Trump Americans is mean but that it’s counterproductive.
Typing this after you’ve just whined about “Europeans” is peak irony. You guys are so fucking clueless.

That being said, if you have a hard time getting the word out on your protests, then the suppression is working.
Publicizing your actions is part of the protest.

You’re making the assumption that these protests don’t have designated people to cover and publicize their actions. We already know Meta and Twitter have been literally suppressing and shadow banning leftist associated tags and keywords on their platforms.

People need to be sharing info here and through other channels. Pictures, videos, links to organised groups.

There have been. But, if I come across some I’ll try to remember to send you a link.

Especially since far-right groups have been falling for Musk’s same bullshit in Europe.
There’s been reports that Germany’s AFD party fell out of favor after their news got to see how Trump played out. I seriously hope that ends up being true in their next election.
