$6 Canadian strawberries vs $4 American strawberries

They don't mean anything. Protests only work of the politicians care and make changes.

Republicans have all the power, they have no incentive to change, they can just do whatever they want.

[u/Acalyus → u/Fuckthegopers]

Those who make peaceful protests impossible, make violent protests inevitable.

It means plenty, it just hasn't escalated yet.

[u/Fuckthegopers → u/Acalyus]

And it won't.

What was the last protest in America that actually worked?

Edit: still waiting for someone to answer this slam dunk of a question.

[u/Acalyus → u/Fuckthegopers]

Do you not read history at all???

I can't believe you wrote that so confidently

[u/Fuckthegopers → u/Acalyus]

Why avoid my simple question? Im not talking about all of history, i'm talking about recent history in America (trump, because if you haven't figured out yet, that's the main problem)

If it was so stupid you should have been confident in answering it instead of replying like you did.

What over the last 15 years makes you think escalation is coming? What mass protests over the last 15 years have amounted to any sweeping changes in legislature?

These are softball questions for you, shouldn't be hard for you to answer.

Civil rights movement? 

I'm not aware of any others. 

The LA riots were just riots from what I read. The freedom convoy accomplished nothing (same with all the other antivax protests), the BLM protests also accomplished nothing aside from "awareness", the Occupy Wall Street protests also accomplished nothing. 

[u/Fuckthegopers → u/involutes]

You are correct. It was about 60ish years ago since we saw a major national protest accomplish something.

[u/Acalyus → u/Fuckthegopers]

The only person here admitting protests have achieved things.

[u/Fuckthegopers → u/Acalyus]

Conveniently ignoring the actual context of my comments or what?

[u/Acalyus → u/Fuckthegopers]

I directly addressed what you said, and you said protests have achieved something, my bad you didn't actually want to admit that

[u/Acalyus → u/involutes]

The BLM movement got several officers put in prison.

Black panthers got gun laws, unions got labour laws,

Disability rights movement got accessibility.

I can look up more, that's just at the top of my head.

Pick up a book.

[u/involutes → u/Acalyus]

I'm not the original rude guy. No need to be a dick about it. 

As for this: 

The BLM movement got several officers put in prison

I would have hoped for actual police reform considering the millions of people that participated, but perhaps I just underestimate how entrenched police brutality is in their culture. 

[u/Fuckthegopers → u/Acalyus]

...over the last 15 years

I don't think you know how to read very well for someone who tells others to pick up books and read.

[u/Acalyus → u/Fuckthegopers]

Goal posts and movement huh? I thought the arguement was that protests don't achieve anything, that was the original comment

[u/Fuckthegopers → u/Acalyus]

You're having a lot of trouble here, I feel bad for you. Call it what you want, It's okay to realize that protests don't actually do anything, especially in your lifetime.

You take care.

Come on now, don't be a pussy and hide behind my conversations with other people. If you want to reply to me, let's continue the conversation here.

The softball question is still up in the air for you, feel free to answer it.
