Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Seeing the video of that girl at Tufts getting abducted by the police, I don't blame people if they are too afraid to protest.
I know there is a general strike being organised, hopefully that has a big impact.
Land of the free and home of the brave.
The "Land of the Brave" but was completely belied by our response to the 9/11/2001 terrorist attacks. We cried and lashes out at random thing until we hurt ourselves over and over.
Brave would have been standing strong and not trying to genocide the middle East writ large. Instead we did the PATRIOT act maneuver and removed our civil liberties before flushing our world leadership position down the toilet out of fear.
Wow. That is all it takes for you people to lose your balls?
Let me tell you about Wilhelm Blumberg. An ordinary citizen of Berlin, Germany, in 1934. When the OFFICIAL GERMAN GOVERNMENT (ruled by the NSDAP) put up swastika flags around his streets, Wilhelm got angry and tore them down. He was stopped by police who wanted to know what the fuck he thinks he's doing. He answered: "What kind of bitch rag (Fotzenlappen) is this??? Let me shit on it real quick!". He was apprehended.
Here is someone who stood up to literal Nazis. He is remembered. You however, will be forgotten. You seek safety in numbers, hoping the next impotent protest march will shield you from repercussions. You will be the first to run away when the tear gas rains down. Scampering back home and start scrolling X or tiktok or youtube or whatever baubles your rulers let you have for entertainment after a long hard day of doing nothing.
Everyone in the US, including myself, are guilty. In fact this post is mostly directed at myself. Each day where we are not shot or at least imprisoned is another day we have failed. Because it was another day of inactivity, of cowardice, of complicity. Another day where we valued our own fleeting life over liberty and justice for humanity or at least this country. That Tufts girl is disappeared because no one else did anything. You chose this. And let's be real, you will continue to choose this.
There was one common line of defense for all defendants during the Nuremberg trials: "We only followed rules and orders". "We didn't know it was this bad". "What was I supposed to do against this machine?". Most of them got hanged. Most of us here should as well.
Thanks purpleskull, now I know that when I'm being mugged at gunpoint it's better to be remembered than to be alive. Sure, there may have been an opportunity to make a difference at some point if you were still alive, but dammit you made a symbolic gesture and one day there will be an angry tough guy using you as an example for other people to follow.
Not angry, I prefer "passionate". Well, I hope you make a difference someday.
I'll watch the news for your contribution.
It is comparing "dick to a finger" as we say in Baltics.
I think I need more information on this one. Is it like "got you by the balls" in English?
No, it's more like comparing two things that might look similar but are actually are as different as day and night. Also before inbreds start commenting: yes, I know, anything can be dildo if you are brave enough.
Where is the general strike? Do you mean https://generalstrikeus.com/ or is there another? If this then golly we need to start picketing on street corners. Sign-ups have slooooowed.
Why the down vote? This is a sincere question.
