Gaza war protesters shut down Golden Gate Bridge, block traffic in other cities
Gaza war protesters shut down Golden Gate Bridge, block traffic in other cities
Cars were stopped and chains were used to block traffic lanes on the famous bridge. Protesters also blocked traffic in Chicago, New York City and Seattle.
You're viewing a single thread.
Nice.
If Americans want the protests to stop, they should stop supporting genocide.
Mm and how has the average San Franciscan contributed to a war on the other side of the planet?
The same way the average American contributed to black oppression. By being silent observers to your government's actions.
Not my government
In the same way we all do. Those weapons can't be built without a reliable economy. Interruptions in labor produce ripple effects which disrupt the atrocities of the capitalist class.
Okay, so why haven't you, as I assume an American, stopped working to disrupt the atrocities of the capitalist class?
I have.
Hahaha nice, good luck with that
With a portion of their taxes.
Those protestors should have already stopped paying taxes if that mattered.
Feel free to try that.
It's like they're not even trying
That assumes they have employment. Not an assumption I would make.
Fair point
So everyone's a cunt except the church then?
Especially the church.
But the church doesn't pay taxes?
Because the church tries to collect them.
It is easy to condemn obvious wrongdoers, but what about the supporting cast of complicitors: business partners, employees, investors, news organizations, and others? Whether we’re aware of it or not, almost all of us have been complicit in the unethical behavior of others and have not always used ethical decision-making skills.
Ah yes collective justice. Punish the population for what their government did. Hmm this feels familiar, is something like that happening somewhere else in world right now?
Be wary of fighting monsters, lest you become a monster.
yes bro. Your morning or afternoon commute becoming an hour longer is equivilant to having your people wiped off the face of the earth. Truly they can't see this hypocrisy for what it is!!
Ah yes Schrodinger's protest. It is at once not a big deal and at the same time a big deal that will cause change.
Hey just curious, when you were being taught in school to raise awareness did they maybe mention something about how the process of abstraction works? No? Ok, guess it is my job. A =/ B, just because A does not equal B does not mean have nothing in common.
Edit: never mind, just noticed you are using an alt-account. Makes sense now.
This is so ignorant and entitled. I watched so many videos of kids watching their parents die in front of their eyes in gaza. It's horrible to even imagine. How can you be so heartless?
How do you think the civilians on Oct 7th felt?
Probably the same way as the parents of those killed in the Great March of Return in 2018 where Israeli forces killed 223 Palestinians.
[Looking at protesters blocking traffic] is this genocide?
If you want to be taken seriously, try not to speak in meme-speak.
[Guy who thinks blocking a road is genocide]: If you want to be taken seriously...
Again.
Both acts are punishing a civilian population for the actions of their government. That doesn't mean they are morally or on the same scale equivalent, it does mean they are examples of the same kind of behavior.
You seem really preoccupied by how you are seen.
One is a state entity committing genocide and the other is a small group with zero legislative backing committing a traffic obstruction. You are really preoccupied with your idiotic classification tho.
[Teacher holding all the kids in from recess] "hmm this is also genocide hmm same behavior."
You used the word genocide btw not him. not all collective punishment has to be to the death.
[Sees a child taking his ball home after being teased on the playground] "wow this isn't quite genocide but it is the exact same thing Israel is doing (if you ignore the scale, the actors, the severity, the racial motivations, and so forth). Some children are being punished despite not actively teasing him. This is a useful categorization for concepts. Blocking traffic is the real genocide."
Says the guy quoting Nietzsche lmao
The Hamas genocide of 1200 civilians in Israel? Or using their populace as human shields in Gaza?
So you solve school shooting by bombing the school?
You go where your enemy is hiding. The glorious freedom fighters of Hamas, who have been holding an infant captive for half a year now, use the civilian population that they're supposed to protect as human shields, slave labor, and conscripts.
Thanks for providing me the opportunity to share GDF’s video on Debunking Human Shields.
Interesting thanks for sharing.
Evidently you solve it by blocking ambulances to "raise awareness"
You clearly don't know what the word 'genocide' means.
You missed your turn…
If all these losers love palestine so much, they should go live there, and see for themselves what a beacon of western liberal values it is.
