US citizens. I hope your taking notes. This is how you protest. We may need these sorts of strategies in a year.

While I agree with you, there is probably about a 100 x chance of being shot in the US when protesting like this.
One off? Probably. You have several hundred people doing this? Not likely. The first-hand optics would shake even the police. They can shoot a person. They can't open fire on people. Not in the US. Not yet, at least.
They can’t open fire on people. Not in the US. Not yet, at least.
Yes they can, and they have opened fire on groups of people for less.
Rittenhouse took a field trip across state lines to do just that
I wouldn't protest like this. Some poor sod on minimum wage'll have to clean it up, not an elite politician.
Agree, they should do this in the backyard of some politicans mansion
Americans protest with killdozers.
THE DILLDOZER!
US citizens protest like the French all the time and get called thugs for it. The French love riots and fighting the police.
That and another French revolution tool.
What are they protesting? Is the protest from a couple months ago for their retirement still ongoing?
Every time I try to look this up a get a variety of different answers. It seems like a lot of different protests using similar means.
The two most common that seem to pop up are:
-
Environmental protection laws. Farmers want to continue to burn fossil fuels, using pesticides, and dumping artificial fertilizers into the ground.
-
Economic protection from foreigners. I found at least one case where a McDonald's was the target because they allegedly were serving foreign-sourced beef
I love the French ... they are the originators of modern protest and centuries later, they're still the leaders in this respect.
What exactly am I seeing here? Tires, hay, and they are wetting it down with some slurry? In front of some fancy building?
Not certain here, but the truck appears to be a pump truck that drains residential sewage tanks.
If that’s the case, then they’re likely hosing everything down with poo.
That's not residential sewage, that's manure. Animal excrements often aged to concentrate it
TIL tyres are a vegetable. I assumed they were a fruit.
