What that maroon doesn’t understand is that there’s a difference between protests and “protests” that burn down cities.
Nobody in the US cares if you want to peacefully hold a sign and yell on a street corner in support of your cause.
nobody cared when kapernick peacefully protested???
Your quote was comparing people flooding the streets.
my quote says nothing about US flooding the streets.
We both know what you’re getting at with the quote. You want leaders in the US to sit on their hands while cities burn “like they do in France” (minus the burning cities) so your Marxist utopia can magically rise from the ashes.

no the quote is about protesting. the french do it, and are one of the best countries in the world. the US "sits on their hands"

Absolutely massive anti-Macron protests are happening all across France today. Will Western media give them the same attention as the US-backed demonstrations in Cuba? Not holding my breath.

Forced vaccinations and vaccine passports.
Interesting seeing you post this as I'd think you'd be all about supporting the enforcement of climate change policy over the wants and needs of evil capitalists any day of the week, comrade.
Context:
"Thousands of farmers gathered in the central Netherlands Wednesday to protest against the Dutch government’s plans to rein in emissions of nitrogen oxide and ammonia, driving their tractors across the Netherlands and snarling traffic on major highways.
The protest was organized earlier this month after the government published nationwide targets for reducing emissions, sparking anger from farmers who claim their livelihoods — and those of thousands of people who work in the agricultural service industry — are on the line.
Calling it an “unavoidable transition,” the government mandated reductions in emissions of up to 70% in many places close to protected nature areas and as high as 95% in other places. The government has been forced to act after courts in recent years began blocking permits for infrastructure and housing projects because the country was missing its emissions targets.
Unregulated capitalism consumes everything including itself
Oh, I thought you might have some kind of actual point with your post about the protests in the Netherlands that are a response to the kind of over-regulation you're into. Seems that even in the Netherlands reasonable people have their limits when it comes to your brand of anti-capitalism. Glad you posted about it.

Yeah, no big deal if you have to starve a few hundred million people to death. That's what has always prevented the utopia, always just a few more people have to be sacrificed.
your words not mine, and the alternative is mass extinction including us.
