That man is 100% correct. How can we let this continue? These innocent children are having their lives, their bodies, their souls destroyed by these fascist pigs. When are we going to stop this? Elections aren't enough to stop these nazi rapist pigs.

We need at least a million man march. It's been done before. What's stopping us now? Where is everyone? How are we not getting better organized? Or are we just scared of what has to be done? You might think peaceful protest can be ignored, but it actually can't, not once enough people start participating. Yes it is scary, but it is also, at this point, absolutely necessary. Everyone is responsible for stopping this. Challenge your own excuses.

Sadly, even 1 million doesn’t cut it. That’s the number that protested in London to oppose (the 1990’s) Iraq war. It did not make a difference. Stupid fucks still did their war mongering, for profit.

The 2003 protest against the iraq war was the largest in history at the time.
