“But why don’t Americans protest? All they do is sit back and take it up the ass!” I hear every European crying as they ignore this right alongside all the other protests.
Because just standing outside is not how a protest achieves anything. True protests must be disruptive and last. The Yellow jackets burned down the avenue des champs Elysées every Saturday for multiple months. The protests following Nahel’s murder (very similar to that of Renee good in some aspects) burned down multiple police stations.
Standing protests like this a regular occurrence in France, but those are not the ones you hear about. Their only role is so build momentum and make people feel united.
Real change happens only through either much stronger protests or through actions like the whistles and following ice around making them feel unwelcome 24/7.
