    Haha yeah you guys sure did a good job at standing up to those brexit blokes!

    Edit: Forgot to mention the Germans and French throwing soup at paintings. Wherever will us yanks find such creativity.

    Or, we could stop believing this online bullshiteant to divide the movements and stop judging each other based on our worst examples.

      throwing soup at paintings

      That was Just Stop Oil, also a UK group. Their goal was to make people talk about them and what they stand for. Here we are, 4 years later, talking about it, so I guess that was a success.
      Not only you missed the mark, but you named two countries that are quite known for people successfully standing up to the government in recent decades, Germany through unions and strikes, and France through throwing bricks at rich people’s buildings and setting some stuff on fire. Both seem to be something yanks need to actually learn.

      That was great britain. Fuckers don’t even wanna be european it seems. Their little island location sure has rotted their brains into thinking they’re something special.
