Protests

Protests during the time of Catherine the Great didn't do anything. She called herself great, and had the wealth and power to keep anybody from disputing the claim by detracting from the title or calling her something like Catherine the Scum, Catherine the Loser, or Catherine the cunt no guy wants to be married to, so ultimately protests didnt get anything accomplished.

Protests get nothing done, they're just a lot of what politicians already do, talk a lot and get nothing done, a few people might die along the way, a lot of public space might get destroyed, that's about it. They're about the most pointless thing somebody could do with their frustration and anger, waste it. The people they're protesting usually try to get them even angrier, for their own amusement.

Evil Walrii Protests 2010

The Evil Walrii Protests taking place in a large city in what is known of as "Canada", were sparked by a widely (and inaccurately) publicized meeting of "world leaders" when it became known that these "leaders" are actually robots set up to do the bidding of the Evil Walrii.

Protesters are angered and frightened at the growing reign of the Evil Walrii which reside under what is known of as "Canada". Rumor has it the Evil Walrii intend to rise up and take over the world in earnest, showing the world their real (and hideous) faces. This would break the truce agreement the Evil Walrii made with the Vikings under Norway after their last war in 1675. They both had agreed to cease their fighting and retreated underground, though both groups have long been plotting a way to rise back up and defeat each other.

Some say it is the Former Sir. James that is behind the Evil Walrii Protests, and that he both revealed that the leaders were really robots, and organized the protests. Sightings of Gosling Army soldiers among the protesters seem to support this.

If the Evil Walrii do rise up and come to a war with the Vikings under Norway the human race will be annihilated or enslaved, depending on who wins, and either way the human reign would come to an end (though some argue it pretty much already has).

The Evil Walrii Protests 2010 are surprisingly tame considering how violent and riotous daily life is in "Canada".

George floyd protests

Divided people more than politics into Black Lives Matter and All Lives Matter camps. Before the protests, people of different races weren't really divided based on race or beliefs/viewpoints, there were people that didn't get along from all groups as there always has been and always will be. There is no such thing as total unity of everyone, it's not realistic.

The George floyd protests are meant to distract a country full of people from the reality that systemic violence can and does happen to anybody, not just black people. It always has been that way, and yet people have conveniently forgotten since George Floyd's death.

George floyd protests

The George Floyd protests haven't actually been about George Floyd since a few weeks after his death. The protests over statues and bullshit by people who never met the guy never had anything to do with George Floyd, and had everything to do with a power struggle. Many, if not most of the people protesting the statues weren't even black people. The main difference between George Floyd and the protestors painting murals or trying to get statues removed is the protestors still have every right to do what they're doing like everybody else does, and still have shit down streets to limit the rights of others, meanwhile George Floyd doesn't have a right to do anything ever again. The protestors never gave a fuck about his life because they didnt know him, they were out looking to remove statues for a good time and to claim a gain in power, with George Floyd's death being their opportunity to do so.

Most of the George Floyd protests never had anything to do with his death, they were an attempt by a group of people to try and grab more power. You don't tend to care about or have any interest in (other than financial/power) somebody's life who you were never going to meet.

Portland Protests

Starting in May 2020, demonstrations over the police killing of George Floyd have been held in the city of Portland, Oregon, concurrent with protests in other cities around the United States and around the world. As of July 2020, many of the protests, which have been held every day since May 28, have drawn more than 1,000 participants.

Some of the protests in Portland have been peaceful, but some have involved injury, vandalism, arson, looting, and heated confrontations with police, sometimes involving injury to protesters and police, declaration of riot, and use of tear gas and other less-lethal weapons.

In early July, the federal government sent in law enforcement officers, including some not easily identified as such and some in unmarked vehicles, to Portland to "safeguard federal property", but engaged in tactics–such as seizing protesters not on or near federal property–that were criticized by Portland's mayor and most of the state's congressional delegation. Several lawsuits were filed, including suits by and on behalf of journalists and legal observers against local and federal law enforcement, and suits by the state against several federal agencies.

Did you hear about the Portland Protests?
Yeah I think they should abandon Oregon and give it to the liberals.

Statue protests

Protesting a Confederate statue is not the same thing as protesting the death of a man in 2020. The death of George Floyd happened in Minnesota, a northern state, and was unrelated to the Civil War. The average soldier in the civil war wasnt fighting to defend slavery, since they weren't wealthy enough to own slaves. These were poor and middle class soldiers who were mostly concerned about their own families way of life, and not soldiers who thought that slavery or the way of life of a wealthy slaveowner was right. The civil war wasnt really about slavery in the first place, slavery just became Lincoln's public relations campaign cause to gain popular support so he could get control of the southern states back. Lincoln didnt really care about whether people were enslaved or not, yet black people treat him as a hero, and treat anything that even symbolizes the confederacy as the enemy because of what it represents, and not because any of these privates or enlisted confederate soldiers actually did any wrong to their people. It was the wealthy slaveowners and the slave traders who displaced them, tortured them, killed them, and sometimes the KKK, and with many unknown identities in the KKK, theres not much way to know whether many of the KKK had had any ties to the confederate army.

Statue protests are about as far off the subject of george floyd's death as you can get, but a lot of people want to think of anything and everything they hate at one time, instead of focusing on what they're really protesting for in the first place. People who think what was done to george floyd was wrong dont have to agree that anything else a protestor thinks must also be true because they're still angry about george floyd and lockdown all at once. A confederate statue outside of a courthouse is not the same thing as putting up a confederate statue in a black neighborhood, it wasnt put there for the reason some black people are saying it was put there, to stir them up. Theres a reason a statue of MLK is across the street from a confederate statue, if you want one removed, you might as well want them both removed, and say they all upset people too much to be remembered or heard about.

Statue protests

Statue protests never had anything to do with George Floyd's death. The one thing thing Confederate statues to George Floyd's death is strings of misinformation about what the Confederacy was and why there was a Civil War in America.

Statue protests have as much to do with George Floyd's death as penguins have to do with the North pole.
