Still here, way less inclined to waste my time. I'm just not going to waste my time on the centrists who insist that the left is small and unpopular so we should only cater to the right of the democratic party. They were wrong, we're fucked because of it, but they want a punching bag to try and alleviate their feelings and I don't care to be that anymore.

They all went to Jill Stiens cave to hibernate until next general election.

Idk if you know this but there is a ceasefire right now. Most of the protests i went to were in response to some escalation or atrocity: new "aid" package being sent, expansion of the war into Rafah, expansion into Lebanon, ground forces going in etc. People tend to protest against escalation events but we are currently in a period of deescalation.

You should expect to see them again in response to trump's latest proposal, it's not going to happen overnight since this came out of nowhere, or when the first phase of the ceasefire expires and people protest to keep it going.

Also wtf is this aneurysm posting "it went from free Palestine to the Rivera of the middle east in 16 days" what does that even mean? And they say the pro-palestine people are bots.

It was a TikTok disinformation campaign and they are embarrassed to learn how fake the whole movement was.

Ah yes my dead friend in lebannon is a tiktok disinformation campain.

Jeez one day I will find the mods who leave this kind of shit and fucking stab them.

And my Trump voting Mom has friends in Gaza, while my Brother in laws Muslim Boss voted for Trump.

Dumbasses vote for dumbass things. But I'll call you out on it. The dumbass move was fucking with Joe and Hariss when they were our best chance for peace.

If you think the Uncommitted movement was fake or a TikTok disinformation campaign then I suggest going outside and touching some grass.

Where are your protests over these Trump moves?

Go complain to the guy in charge. I'm sure Trump will want to hear your opinion.

The level of protest isn't anywhere near the level of Harris.

These guys were interrupting Harris during her speeches. A couple of protests over the White House doesn't really compare.

I don't think you realize how loud and obnoxious Free Palestine chanters got. Go start interrupting Trump at a MAGA rally before I compare vs Harris or Joe.

Or make up a fucking nickname for Trump. Call him Genocide Trump or something and make it reach the meme status of Genocide Joe.

Cite your sources and I will believe you.

FIFTY protests at capitals, plus non-capital cities. You are incorrect to say this. Source: https://www.delawareonline.com/story/news/2025/02/05/50501-protests-what-to-know-about-anti-trump-movement-project-2025/78243167007/

They are just not that important in comparison with all the other crap going on.

Building a world conquering engine takes time, resources, blood, sweat, and tears. In short, I know I can't force the hands that bind, but if I keep on moving toward that goal, eventually, the calvary IS coming, and they are going to slaughter every last one of these bastards.

because they were all protesting biden and the left, now we can't protest biden and left because he's retired on a beach somewhere.

You could protest trump, i guess.

Realistically, i think the protests just died out when the college students stopped caring, those were the only people actually protesting.

I'm seeing ton of leftists post about it on the good parts of Lemmy like hexbear. Don't know why libs don't care about genocide 🤷

[–] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Nah, tankies only care about Gaza to dunk on the west. You don't care about the suffering. Fuck Israel btw.

Tell me in so many words why Russia was forced into a genocidal war again.
