What they don't understand is why you don't rise up and set fire to a broken system as is tradition.
And don't start with that oppression shit, go read the history of every revolution ever. You just don't wanna.
Because the country is to big to put together the riots you guys have. If I want to join a protest outside the white house I am going to have to take time off work. And if i do that my family might starve. They got a really good system here. They don't need even shoot people. Just let us starve. They do shoot too though.
read previous comment again and save me some time.
Also I'm in Australia, stfu about "big country"
Isn't a vast majority of your county's population in the east coast?
And 75.8% of the us population lives in the south. Your point?
Didn't nation wide protests happen in the past?

But their effectiveness is limited. George Floyd's killer might be getting early. All that just to get one guy to go to prison for a bit.
Effectiveness of every protest is limited, it's not like in other countries they magically solve all the issues
So now I guess all we got is violence?
