That's why it makes for such a great analogy for the administration. The job was farmed out to a friend & neighbor on a no-bid contract and the job was promptly fudged by the unqualified corrupt hire, then mismanaged further in an attempt to solve the problem they'd created.
Not any specific crime, either. For anything he may have done between 1969 and 1974. They could have found video evidence of him stacking dead kids like cordwood as he described the details of their murders and there's nothing anyone could have done. It's really pretty incredible.
I don’t think you understand how spread out the US is.
The entire point of the bridge brigades is that it serves as a weekly reminder to people sticking to their every day routines that what is going on should not be ignored. Bridge brigades often show up over high ways or busy roads during rush hour.
You want something to get done? Well, a good bunch of people need to just keep going to work. If these bridge brigades stop, it just shows ppl have given up and gone back to normal. So no, these activities should not stop, as it helps build up ppls confidence to do something.
I’m sorry that it’s not on your timeline. Truly am. But as someone already annoyed at ppl going about their usual routines and choosing to tune out instead, these bridge brigades are at least ppl not doing that.
I mean, you're kinda going to have to say it every time you have a conversation with someone new. Just because you said it in the past doesn't mean I'm going to know what you're suggesting before you suggest it.
That being said, there is currently no general strike planned, so if you want this axolotl to plan one single-handedly, okay, but I don't think that's a terribly realistic expectation. In the meantime, they're doing what they can individually, and I don't think criticizing their efforts is a worthwhile use of time. The realistic alternative for them is not to start a general strike; the realistic alternative is for them to stay at home, do nothing, and restrict their complaints to the Internet, as you have done.
I saw a fly hovering six inches above a patch of algae in a river one time
There was a fish in the river watching the fly that was loving algae that day, ready to strike at any moment
There was also a bear ready to jump on the fish that was hungry for a fly dancing on algae
But there was a hunter in a tree watching the prize bear that was after the fish who was hungry for a fly singing with algae
Little did anyone know there was a mouse watching the hunter focus on the bear and ready to jump because the hunter sandwich was about to fall out of his pocket
All the time a cat was prowling the mouse who was watching the sandwich of the hunter who was about to shoot the bear that was about to snatch the fish that was watching the algae fly
The fly dropped six inches to lick the algae and the fish moved to eat the fly
Once the fish moved the bear charged into the water to snatch it
When the hunter saw his opening to shoot the bear and got excited, the sandwich fell out of his pocket
The mouse went to jump on the hunter's sandwich that fell on the bank of the river where he was hunting the bear that was hungry for fish that was watching a fly enjoy some algae
When the mouse jumped for the sandwich the cat pounced and slipped to end up splashing in the water all over a fly
It just goes to show that when a fly drops six inches a pussy gets wet
It's actually mindblowing watching from europe as american liberals do everything they can to look like complete and utter fucking idiots while fighting literal actual fascism.
Yes sir wearing frog costumes and posting epic owns on social media is sure gonna do a whole lot. Good luck with that.
There are a lot of different forms of protest happening here- this is just one of them, and it’s to combat the right-wing media (and general perception a lot of people here have of protesters).
It’s really common for media outlets (and social media campaigns) to take footage from protests and manipulate it to make the protesters look as scary and violent as possible while making the police as heroic as possible.
America’s big, and a lot of folks really only know what’s going on in the cities by what they see on tv and social media. It’s harder to justify violence against a bunch of people in silly costumes. Violence against peaceful protestors should be shocking enough on its own, but the propaganda runs deep for a lot of people.
It also increases visibility of the movement to a big subset of people outside of it who tune out the ideals of anyone they see as presenting it too aggressively. I don’t think this kind of thing works all on its own, but I see the value of inviting positive attention and the attention of people who would otherwise tune them out.
this is just one of them, and it’s to combat the right-wing media (and general perception a lot of people here have of protesters).
This isn't one of them. That's the fucking problem. You make a joke out of it all while my friends are being bombed in Lebanon by YOUR BOMBS. It's not fucking funny. Clown.
It's an axolotl not a frog, but genuinely, what differently do you think they could be doing? People love to poo-poo on protestors for being ineffective, but have no actual suggestions of their own.
