If anyone wondered what would have happened in the US if the US had a wave of protests similar to Hong Kong... This is what would have happened. In fact, this protest seems better organized, more structured, and a little awe inspiring to be honest
Now the question is if the students can organize en masse and march on the capital to occupy the Capitol.
You don't match on the capitol unless you want to be painted with the same brush as the Jan 6 Rioters.
Even Caesar knew what crossing the Rubicon meant, and would result in.
Coordinated peaceful protests are the only way to go
These kids are already being attacked by state security forces using more weaponry than the Jan 6 traitors were facing and your conclusion is we need more peace?
