Not really, personally I and a lot of Europeans hold the belief that in order for anything to be done you actually need to be doing those things.

Not just Europeans on this team. Watching from Canada and being told nothing can be done but a street march on a sunny Saturday while our own governing schmucks start instituting laws to appease and move our country toward fascism on the lead of the fuckers south of us, is god damn terrifying.

I won’t be silent about it either. About 'murica or Canada. 'muricuns are letting a fascist dictator control them and affect lots of others around the world. Canadians are allowing our PM to do the same just much slower and with more smiles and handshakes.

Every single one I have ever contacted and asked. If they’re on a label and it’s controlled by a company it’s high seas time.

Gotta start asking for it. If the bands you enjoy know that people would buy physical or digital copies from the artist again they would begin making them. It only benefits the entertainers.

Direct purchase, like the old days and fuck corporate greed so torrents.

Bandcamp is owned by union busters. Fuck bandcamp.

Canada is a dog and pony show for sure (Canadian here). Our new PM voted in to challenge all of this is just walking along like nothing is happening in the world. Fuck him too. We need revolution as well.

Us Poor’s worldwide need to rise up. There are so many more of us than them.

Agreed. Until we force our governments, who are the only ones who can do something about it, to act, we are just as complicit as those pulling the trigger. That so many refuse to stand up and push back against governments supporting genocide and Holocaust 2.0 is a terrible outlook on our future as humans in general. More voices need to ring out yet here we are. Making sure we get to work every day so our overlords can make more money and hire more slaves like us.

I am very glad these people are telling stories of their experiences. As someone with severe PTSD from a chaotic job trying to help people I can tell you this will stay with this guy the rest of his life. I see this not just from the starving Palestinian side but also from the side that this guy’s life, without proper acknowledgement and treatment is just as over as that poor Palestinian he watched starve and die.

I am hopeful he gets the help he needs but in this current western culture of hatred and cynicism I imagine he will disappear into a terrible obscurity of fucked up memories because Palestinians obviously deserve this and so does he for trying to help.

Neither person in this story should be experiencing this and all of us are complicit in allowing it to happen until we force our governments to do otherwise.

And be shooting settlers and IDF soldiers who continue to rampage as it will happen.

“I would probably feel more comfortable there because I’m white and that’s the way this country was when my ancestors came there.”

Fucking guy can’t even read.

There’s a bunch of expat Germans doing this on the east coast of Canada. They speak openly about how people with my last name and others like mine (traditional last names here) need to be “taken care of” because we are “inbred”. Hilarious from the “white master race” who won’t fuck anyone but their sister. These fucking assholes exist everywhere. Don’t fool yourself otherwise.

No. And I believe that’s the plan all along.

We have our own fair share of religious zealots and anti-vax idiots. It’s a big country.

It’s a place to post information. The same hat guy is a generic photo for someone who works for ice but they don’t have a personal picture for, just a name.

Nothing a water balloon launcher couldn’t handle.

To not be American and watch this all unfold truly shows us what Americans are all about. Around the globe we’ve listened for a long time about how dominant they are in everything but when it comes to standing up for themselves and their fellow man, they sit down.

Someone else posted this in a comment thread. Just want to make it more visible…

Tacos. Throw fucking tacos.

I guess they have to be equally terrible places for you for them to be fascist hellholes you shouldn’t visit. They are very equitable at the moment.
