    Holy shit Americans are lame. No wonder your country sucks so much. In the civilised world that would’ve been a full on brawl, and they’d have burnt down the police station later for good measure.

      I mean the French are constantly protesting/rioting but their police still brutalize protesters, rioters and innocent bystanders like it’s a sport for them.

        This really seems to depend on the society, say, French seem to have that healthy rioting culture where people would do as he says.

        That’s not really a relevant criticism, I’m not talking about anything out of the ordinary. Plenty of not very tough people (like me) go to protests, but people are tougher when they are united. The idea that a protest would stick to some zone, or that people wouldn’t try to help each other against the cops, is super sad. It makes you think they don’t really believe in the thing they are protesting for at all.

        Honestly, if you don’t look out for each other it seems to defeat the whole point of an organized protest. I can spread the word on my own in a safe space without fear of organized retaliatory violence.

      civilised

      brawl

      arson

      Sure, why not

      (I get* that it’s a joke but what worries me is that it’s actually said candidly, and worse, sometimes I myself think stuff like that. It might be just or moral (debatable), but it sure as fuck isn’t civilized)
