@abduleldesouky@notasexworker_ I’ll end with this. We’re on the same side for the most part, you understand how the protesters are being treated as one in the same as rioters, I don’t think separating them has value and their cause still holds value.
@abduleldesouky Dozens of police stations burned down, clashes between police and crowds resulting in injuries, arrests and death. I wouldn’t call it peaceful if that’s what you mean.
@abduleldesouky@notasexworker_ I compare it to egypt because this a country who have been long ruled by military presence and when faced with peaceful demonstrations retaliate with an iron fist. There is always a reason those in power find to silence dissent, whether it is a half-truth or not.
@abduleldesouky@notasexworker_ The point of protest is to cause disruption to incite change from those in power
Police brutalise civilians, the protest turns violent, this gives reason to suppress the movement even harder. It’s the playbook so that peaceful protest never works again i seen in action at my uni
@abduleldesouky@notasexworker_ I see you are Egyptian, after the many coup de’tats that have plagued the country, and peaceful protest is met with thousands of arrests, tear gas and rubber bullets. You point to cartels, and El-sisi points to radical islamists, when the reality is so much different.
@abduleldesouky@notasexworker_ There are moms and dads in the crowd, you should go and see for yourself it’s not scary until the police begin open firing from the safety of buildings. When Gandhi himself was peacefully protesting he was met with violence similar to today.
@ThePurpleVulpes I’ve seen latine be better received, although the alteration of the gendered Spanish language has USA origins its meant to refer to nonbinary folk. Although no communities of mine use it, I can see a small niche of hispanics in America being open to it.
