  • Oh, yes, re-reading the whole thing I see that too (and I might have been too confrontational for no reason, sry about that, wasn’t even intentional).

    I was then really replying to just the last paragraph how only peaceful protests are ok. The fact that the comment was predominantly about Janny the Sixth and intentionally relating it that to “protests should be peaceful” I automatically disregarded as bs and focused only on that last bit of propaganda.

    Coups however do often include physically storming buildings (or having access to it by default) to seize the legislature powers & using some sort of “official” pathway to power (just to have a basis for the administration & military to now follow the new regime as if technically nothing changed).


  • Wait … you think … Jan 6th was … a protest?
    Im not Murican, but that doesn’t seem right.

    Also I think I was clear that Im taking about protesting for rights, like how we got 5 day workweeks, women voting rights, etc.
    If eg a military coup happens I do not think anyone would label it as a protest.

    Also, protesting is a fairly democratic thing to do, it’s not about occupying some university building (like, what even are the damages?), it’s about letting your opinion to be heard, to get attention on the issue, to let people know it’s not just them.

    And our (current) society is such that people pay attention (& education on the subject) by how ‘loudly’ they hear it. Ofc media is part of the problem (for profit or gov controlled both lead to less professionalism), but so is most people barely having enough time & energy to survive, much less ponder issues, organise, make change happen, etc.
