It's nice to see a populace willing to defend itself from the ruling class. If only we had this kind of organizational capability in the US.


Anytime a real protest occurs in the US, 100s of people wind up sitting in solitary confinement, uncharged, for months or years. We've only had one real protest in living memory (that I'm aware of) and that will probably be about it. No one really wants to go to the Gulag.

That seems dubious under any plausible definition of "real protest".

> We've only had one real protest in living memory (that I'm aware of)

(1) Taken as true, the sample size of 1 undermines the impact of the preceding claim.

(2) Define "real protest".

(3) What is the single example in living memory?


I love it when the ruling class campaigns to make the serfs pay more tax so that they can retire in nicer castles


Thanks. Some of us were so well organized with cool songs and stuff, I'm jealous so we're writing one for next week (probably based on Vian, Lluis Llash or Ogeret).
