Marched against the Iraq war. We were a million there too in London. Got the coach down from my home town to go. They went to war anyway. Industrial war machine doesnt care about people or their voice. Just the money it can make from more war.
It doesn't matter, it is a statement of individual humanity.
it is a statement of individual humanity.
it matters ~~that~~ then.
Um... (looks out window in DC) ... Where?
Presumably the national mall. And yesterday.
You probably live in the DC universe instead of Washington, DC.
If I got that information wrong, there a pointing down arrow that you can press so that I'll stop making jokes in the context of serious political problems.
I don't know how many people marched in London but for DC it is mentioned that "thousands" marched... And "hundreds" for Paris and Rome. Maybe London carried this thing
E: It's the same for London, it just says "thousands".
Almost one million people (combined)
Searching for the DC protest, it just mentions "thousands" which, unless London really carried this, seems like a far cry from the "almost one million".
And for London I just found similar claims of "thousands".
The claim sounds like bullshit to me...
In London, at least, it varies wildly on who is reporting the statistics. The BBC will usually shill for the government, whereas you might have more luck with The Guardian for something a bit less biased - as long as you're not looking at their opinion pieces.
It's a regular battle in the UK. We've had several huge protests that have likely reached hundreds of thousands, where getting out of the area is ten times worse than getting out of Wembley Stadium, yet the BBC have reported "several thousand", or have shown images where it's a small subset of the people there.
I didn't really see any reports stating anything other than "thousands". I checked The Guardian and it's the same there. If London and DC were to reach a million or even close to it, you'd expect one or more likely both of them to be in hundreds of thousands.
But Military Industrial Complex need make money...
Expect to see nothing on mainstream TV.
The only thing that will ever stop the war machine is the death of all humanity.
As long as there's two people on the planet, someone is going to want someone dead
You sure sound like a crazed gunman
I'm not a crazed gunman dad. I'm an assassin. Well the difference be that one is a job and the other is a mental sickness!
Alright you're both very clever, but how about we at least try to stop our elected governments from using our money to kill poor people. Things sometimes actually get better because of our actions
A giant number for sure.
