Pro-equality protests face crackdowns from US American regime
Bogotá - In the face of deteriorating civil liberties and reproductive rights in US America protestors went on the street in the city of Los Angeles in the nation’s California province, demanding an end to the repressive policies that targets women’s bodily autonomy. Gender-based oppression against women and trans people has been on the rise in the former British colony as the failed economic policies of the ruling Republican-Democrat party has left the mass of people struggling to get by.
The protesters were met with brutal repression from the regime’s internal security forces who beat and harassed protestors. The violence displayed by the regime stands in stark contrast to the hopes of some observers who thought that last year’s appointment of Joseph Robinette Biden as premier to replace the authoritarian strongman Donald Trump would herald a thaw and open up the possibility of pro-democracy reforms, however the regime appears as authoritarian as ever.
Where did you get this comrade? I tried googling but couldn’t find it anywhere.
I made it up while pretending I was a westoid liberal journalist and that the US was a country in the imperial periphery.
getting similar vibes to the beginning of blm. despite having nothing directly to do with cops, it’s not like the cops are capable of restraint and using the pigs’ own fascist tendencies to expose the contradictions on things that are widely popular ideas being protested and violently oppressed might be a good line to build on.
cops beating protestors over police protests at least plausibly makes sense in a very vulgar way. cops beating protestors over women’s rights is reaching the cool zone that will force libs to experience extreme cognitive dissonance in the best of ways.
You say that but cops kicked the shit out of a women’s vigil after a cop murdered a woman here in the UK and the next week the Guardian was naming and shaming people from the follow-up protests and asking protesters to get in touch with their real names so they could shop them to the cops.
I hope I’m wrong but liberals will tut for a moment and then back up the fash.
it’s our job to agitate the libs and advance them towards class consciousness. ive seen a lot of status quo supporting posts recently about the low potential of the response to the overturning of roe v wade, but i see a lot of potential.
the potential just needs to be analyzed correctly and exploited correctly, and libs being libs isn’t a good enough reason to not see this as an incredible opportunity
That’s true and to be fair I wasn’t trying to be wholly cynical about it, although a bit of my bitterness about being involved in recent movements in the UK probably shone through more than I intended.
I absolutely believe in the ability to agitate and help radicalise individuals, whether that’s those in our lives or at demos etc. I just think it’s important to remember that the liberal blob, whether that’s media, politicians, NGOs or prominent figures aren’t going to back you up. We should be agitating, but we shouldn’t be relying on anyone but proven comrades.
There’s a massive difference between liberal media institutions and the average person on the street who politically identifies as a liberal because its the only mainstream alternative to chuddery and they haven’t thought that hard about it.
The former is as much an arm of capital as the cops or army, a human mask for hollow inhumanity and a pied piper to lull to sleep, the latter our future comrades who absolutely need to be radicalized if we’re ever going to get anything done.
Nothing says “land of the free” quite like seeing all the special treatment nazis get over civil libertarians.
You can physically see this man shrink as the video goes on. “NO YOU BACK UP” and he does.
Yeah, it’s a perfect representation of cop cowardice.
Starts by assaulting people with a bat - realises they’re not afraid - realises he doesn’t have overwhelming numbers and military gear to protect himself from angry people trying to hand him leaflets - shrinks back and calls for backup so they can stand in a scared huddle and try and sound authoritative.
Wishing every cop who opposes abortion rights a very happy dying in the line of duty.
