@liberty_lyss Do you not see in these replies that as soon as you disagree, you are just an angry woman with no rights? I can see and acknowledge arguments against abortion, though I don't think they hold up. These people fucking hate you. Intrinsically.
@emre_mayo@StatisticUrban And if you're whole thing is everything is fine, I think a large amount of people would heartily disagree. Whatever they think the problem or solutions to our society's problems may be, things aren't gping well for a vast majority of Americans right now.
@emre_mayo@StatisticUrban You're attributing claims to me that I haven't said. Do protests always work? No, of course not, you are talking to a government that only listens to money. Do protests sometimes work? Yes!! So you're original argument sucks, through the years, both here and in other countries.
@emre_mayo@StatisticUrban And you haven't mentioned the Capitol protest that turned into a riot and invaded the most important part of our democracy. Turnabout is fair play.
@emre_mayo@StatisticUrban Or hey, even one from your side, massive amounts of people showing up to public libraries against drag queen story hours. They have dropped a lot, especially since Trump was re-elected. Protests are supposed to make people in power feel unsafe without actual violence. Last resort
@emre_mayo@StatisticUrban The movement that exploded in the 80s, after Reagan's advisors had to convince him to actually participate because it was too obvious even for them that is was a losing battle? So maybe protests don't work on the day they happen, but the things that do were 1793. I'm down. Haha
@emre_mayo@StatisticUrban South Korea's president tried an entire coup, and people in the streets were why it didn't work. Like two years ago. Love right wingers who hate the Bill of Rights except the Second and one part of the First Amendment.
@emre_mayo@StatisticUrban Okay, sure, how about the massive BDS movement against South African apartheid led by protests in country and around the world?
@TwinkRegimer@bigspooper@olutrain@h2twch@StatisticUrban What impact? If you're in a head on at 60, you're both dead, sure, but how about getting rear ended by someone staring at their phone and not seeing a red light? Auto collisions are chaos incarnate. Why would you not want to cut that down?
@AliceBunnyland2 Had the wildest week of my life in college when they gave me a full bottle of hydrocodone cough syrup for strep, before I knew what it was. Total fever dream, just remember talking like a character from a book series I was reading at the time.
@AliceBunnyland2 They want the most recent 'you' they can get. Live to customs to content. How close can they get to actually buying you. It's a terrible way to think about women, as if the you you were 2 years or 2 months ago isn't still you.
