And the Walton family sponsored the no kings protest!
That's a somewhat misleading summary
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-walmart-heiress-nyt-protest-ad/
While Walton inherited a 1.9% stake in Walmart following her husband's 2005 death, according to Forbes, a spokesperson for Walmart told Snopes via email that Walton has no involvement in the business.
Tell that to her 20b net worth
That's irrelevant to the point that "The walton family sponsored" is misleading when it looks like it was just one person who's only a member of the family by marriage, with no current involvement in the business, and when walmart itself explicitly distanced itself from her on this topic.
I literally didn't say Walmart did I?
You said "Walton family", which is technically correct but misleading because it's only one person. The statement made by walmart is more representative of the family majority.
Yes split hairs to defend the billionaires
You could admit you weren't entirely correct. It's okay.
And you're doing the work of billionaires here by discouraging people from protesting.
I was actually correct, a member of the Walton family is bankrolling a protest named "No kings" literally the oligarchy funding protests.
Protest away, it's definitely not all part of project 2025 👍
"technically correct, the best kind of correct" is a joke and not an aspiration.
What do you suggest? Staying home and doing nothing?
Bro you're the one claiming I was wrong, I didn't make this into a whole back and forth, you did.
The technically correct joke is when someone comes in and nit picks something, exactly what you're doing.
I do not see how the protests have actually accomplished anything over the past two decades I've been paying attention.
The protests against the war in the middle east, we didn't pull out until Biden
Occupy Wallstreet, literally nothing happened
Black Lives Matter, literally nothing happened
First trump admin lots of protests, literally nothing happened
Defund the police, hey it's like they have more money now somehow
All the trump 2 protests, what has actually been accomplished?
I do think protests can work, but these are all too disjointed with no real end goal in sight and I find it mighty suspicious when some of them are funded by billionaires yes.
The same billionaires who happily keep us fighting amongst ourselves while they loot the treasury and slide us further toward facism.
What we need is an actual movement united in a common goal and working in lock step, something the proud boys et all figured out on the right years ago and clearly actually worked for them
All those 'protests' are coordinated by the oligarchy as pressure release values because they know the public is at a tipping point for rejecting both right wing parties and their policies, preventing organic protests from rising and creating a threat to their existence. They allow voters to blow some steam while giving the illusion they are participating in democracy.
"All civil unrest is actually corporate psyops" is certainly a take.
If that's what you took out of my comment, you need to reevaluate it. Need. He's no King protests are neutering actual protest
