If you're asking "Why don't Americans riot like the French?" but you also complain whenever there's a protest and someone breaks a storefront window, I see you and you make me so goddamn tired.
@evacide @tess yep. Damage to insured property is a protest tactic. It’s a way to get noticed. It’s not violent. No idea why people don’t get that. Violence has to cause harm and a window that will be repaired in hours at no cost to the business just isn’t harm. I know y’all know that. I’m just getting it in writing that I believe this. Consequences be damned.
That said… how we spend our money can be protest. What we wear every day can be protest.
Every opportunity to protest matters.
