But why the U.S., when you have totalitarian governments with brutal repression in China and Russia. Along with the Muslim nations that hate women and gays, deny them rights and kill them. The African nations that practice ethnic genocide, does it bother anyone else that America is the whipping boy?
Why are thousands across the globe turning out to protest America? When in most instances, Europe, former Soviet Dominated Eastern European countries, Japan, South Korea, not only did we fight and lost lives for their freedom but rebuilt their country’s.
I’m sick of it. And what pisses me off even more is that liberal professors and the MSM believe the US deserves it. Pathetic.
we still have more opportunity for everyone than they have ever had.

The same is happening in the countries you mention. They're receiving money to go out and virtue signal/destroy things. It isn't anything that requires some nuanced understanding of "social justice."
think it would make the Democrats happy, collecting more taxes to waste on things.

First things first you know.
anyone see his tax returns is because of the huge depreciation he must get, legally I might add, on the properties he rents. That deduction itself may lower his taxable income quite a bit. He pays a ton of property taxes and payroll taxes though, income tax, not so sure he pays a lot. Everyone from Buffett to Romney to any of the past and current Kennedys takes advantage of tax laws that are set up to encourage investment.
I have an in law relative who has a cousin who works for the IRS, and who has worked on his audits, and this auditor is no conservative politically,

it is obvious that the left is becoming increasingly anti-Semitic. Are you really unaware of this?
Jews reliably stay in the fold, so they can be kicked repeatedly by progressives.

They didn't seem to be against America, and it seems like GOAT was talking about something else anyway.
That seemed a bit anti-American. Also, gaffiti on the Lincoln Memorial? burning American flags. Lots of anti-American stuff going around.
Then again, I assume your city is more pro-American than many other cities.
PB is GOAT? Wasn't Aragoto being accused of that?
I thought he was being pissed off at Europe for not appreciating America enough.
As for Indiana, I suspected that most were protesting police violence against minorities, not America writ large.
He has a point about how the Hong Kongers are just being sacrificed to the Beast by Europeans...and frankly, by many Americans. (I'm reminded of Steve Kerr.)
Wish we could protest against all police abuse, and not just abuse directed at minorities. That would be cool, and definitely more inclusive, and an opportunity for the races to come together. But, somehow, that would likely be deemed to be racist, akin to saying that all lives matter. Strange when something meant to bring the races together is deemed racist. Oh well.

And it clothes itself in the garb of those promising to use power for good by taking and redistributing...and it avoids the garb of those who promise nothing but freedom.
Other schools just tell them to fuck off...
People can peacefully protest even day after day here. It may even lead to some change. We don’t have Putin's thugs killing people or an army of PLA soldiers like Eli violently suppressing them. We can do better to suppress some of the lawless elements, but overall this shows why we really are what we claim to be.
about it.
This linked "right to rebel, right to revolution" dance rally can be seen in almost every neighborhood and major streets EVERYDAY in those years. Any citizen organization can break into offices of county chair, city mayor, provincial head and even Chinese president (Note in china at that time the president is #2 leader, not #1) and took them to the streets outside and forced them to make self reflection and apologies to public.

Honestly though, I don’t think many here on either side of the spectrum give them much credence. When I get my reparations check from the UK for starving my bog dwelling ancestors from the old sod over to here, I may take them seriously. The Brits and French are two of the most racist nations in the world and they get their deserved share of shit for it.
No other country takes the shit that America does. That’s why Putin and Xi laugh. They get a free pass. Especially from our so-called NATO friends and their citizens.
The problem is our professors teach that America is racist and unjust.
Strange, America has never been a colonial power, never brought salves here, that was those great European nations.
I’m tired of being lectured by the world. You should be too.
Did a few Bobby Sands protests in the day against racist Thatcher.

Oh no that didn’t happen even in the UK. Why didn’t the world come out and support Hong Kong Lives Matter?
Don’t wrap the cops in the flag here.
These protests can just as easily be seen as acts of patriotism.

Embassy demanding China change their policies. Why is that? Try not to dodge the question again.
