People are already DYING, what bodycount can your conscience hold?
Oh and did you miss all the students who were shot and killed in Nepal? You can find videos of them bleeding out in the streets with people desperately trying to save them, kids dying in school uniforms as they protest, but sure billy clubs.
Dude, there's no way you can argue your way into making someone feel bad for not wanting to risk their life in a violent resistance against their own government.
That's a choice every person have to make for themselves. You don't know them. You don't know their situation.
You seriously need to take a step back and sit down.
Are you just going for a shock reaction, or are you seriously trying to neg other people into dying for you?
I'm trying to convince Americans to do something to stop their fascists from killing people. I'm not there, I can't support in any other way.
So you're the very definition of a keyboard warrior, but for some reason you get to decide that things like 'protesting' aren't doing enough, and to demand accountability for us not dying in your place.
No a keyboard warrior would be someone trying to act tough by threatening or abusing you, the whole "I'd kick your arse if you were here saying that to my face" shtick.
And to demand Americans stop America from killing innocent people? Yeah the fucking audacity of me right.
I suppose I should have used 'slacktivist' or 'armchair anarchist', but I felt the implication that you'd be doing what you're demanding of americans (were the political situations reversed) was enough to muddy the distinction between the three incredibly important terms. I also felt those two were more directly insulting, and liable to be wrong (you might be involved in your local politics IRL), so I chose to avoid using them. Please, let us litigate further this topic I'm sure we both care about instead of talking about something like: how easy it is to demand other people die for a cause when you can't be asked to do the same.
For context: I've been shot while protesting for Palestine once already, and the IDF ripped out my babysitter's spine with a bulldozer and left her to drown in her own blood while she was protesting. What've you done in in your time, exactly, that's putting your body on the line?
(okay)
it was probably just a flesh wound from shrapnel, but there were still bullets.^edit:^ ^bulldozer,^ ^not^ ^backhoe^
How many American protesters have been killed since January 2025?
Give me your source. Otherwise, STFU.
