    Why is that? Because you’re completely in the dark. Either your media don’t report, you don’t bother to research, you’re an idiot, or all 3.

    When 8 million Americans protest nationwide in our largest ever protest, and you completely ignore it, I ask myself for quite some time: where is our international solidarity partners? All they do is spread falsehoods about lack of protest here while looking down on us.

      Jesus dude, why so hostile? There’s nothing inherently wrong with not knowing enough about something.

      where is our international solidarity partners?

      Solidarity with the nation currently being aggressive toward various instances of its “allied” countries? I can’t see how it’s reasonable to expect any one citizen of those countries to give any amount of support to the nation currently threatening their home’s stability. There’s no practical reason to do anything more than reduce its interactions with said country for the sake of its own citizens’ livelihoods. Global relations are a matter of give and take, and right now all the US is doing is taking.

        Solidarity with the nation currently

        No! Solidarity with us - Americans who couldn’t agree more with your assessment of that government and are grieving their democracy. Do we get even symbolic support? Nope. We get accused of not protesting when we are.

        And if you think he was simply ignorant, you need to read his follow up reply to me.
