        And why don’t they now?

        Because the field changed.

        Imagine if you continued to fight with a sword because it worked once. It is different now, there are guns.

      They work for people who have the balls to fight for them.
      Clearly not you (or Americans as is comically obvious lately)

        America has had consistent violent and non violent protests from the 2000s on. I’ve gone.

        The fuck are you talking about? Most of you shit breaths come from the most corrupt countries in the world and say shit like this lmfao

      Uh… They did work, unless you think labor laws and standards are the same as they were in the late 19th century. Then the workers of America stopped organizing so obviously it stopped working.

        Interesting because I watched the American government in my time completely ignore every protest ever.

        Black and brown people are targeted more than ever, queer people are immensely unsafe currently, labor laws are sliding backwards with children dying in meat factories and guns are still killing kids.

        What did we accomplish exactly? Not much in over a century

          LOL
          Did the bad orange man not crumble due to relentless strolling in the streets with a sign?
          Remorseless interpretative dance or defiant acts of putting up stickers!?
          You don’t get change by asking nicely.
          But it’s clear you will fail.
          Never seen such weak, pacified and apathic pussies as Americans.

            Lmfao this has been the case for almost a century you dummy. Just cause you can’t keep track of history doesn’t mean everyone else does.

            How’d Occupy Wall Street go? Really far I bet.

            How about the countless marches for climate change, gun laws, LGBTQ rights, the classic woman’s march. Nothing.

            You wanna be a little shit and act like there isn’t enough violent protests in America? Go look up any video of any Black lives matter protests there’s numerous levels of violence people have had to endure and express.

            You’re clueless you sit on here and talk shit but know nothing. Dip your mouth in my ass the next time you wanna speak about something you have no clue about.

            Meanwhile what country are you from? Bet you guys are loving it up right now lmfao

              Broski, how do you think gay people got rights?

              How long ago did they march, gain acceptance widely… When did gay marriage become legal?

              These things didnt happen that long ago, what do you mean ‘nothing’ came of these movements…

              You simply miss perspective, surely?

              In the last century, we got civil rights, women’s rights (to vote, to own a bank account, to divorce, to abort), gay rights and well…

              You guys have started to lose some of those… But they happened within the last century, they were movements that were successful.

              So clearly popular movements work and you need to readjust your expectations. These things are difficult and take time, you must win the hearts and minds before you can adjust the legislature.

              Complying preemptively is how you lose everything and fascists win.

          When is the last time you went on strike for political reasons? Never? Well go change that and then complain. The people who did change things took on more personal risk than all acts of resistance Americans have done since Reagan combined. Look up the battle of blair mountain. Marches are, frankly, pussy shit that are only relevant if you want to meet people to organize for real resistance.
