If you think protests are enough to fix this you're dreaming.
They literally didn't say that. Stop making things up to get mad at.
Not my country. Im just stating a fact.
It's a non sequitur response and rude for no reason. That's the only fact I see here.
Direct quote. How is me saying protests wont work a non-sequitor exactly. Please do explain.
Honestly you just seem like an ass, is my take
Solid deflection.
Let me be crystal clear here.
People from around the world from countries who have gone through this exact kind of thing, some of whom have personally experinced them firsthand, are telling you peaceful protests are not enough. This is coming from experience, not idle talk.
And instead of listening, you're getting mad and calling people big meanies.
I dont know if its because Americans are so used to people tiptoing around them or stroking their egos or whatever. But if you dont get your collective heads out of your asses you are going to end up a victim of history and your country will be unrecognizable.
You need to grow up and listen, not lash out when people levy criticism.
Lol you are arguing with yourself bro
First, its not just a protest, its a general strike, countless businesses have had to close because of it. Secondly, you say that as if Iran isn't working. Why is it that whenever there's a protest in the US people try to minimize it?
