I'm already hearing about protests and actions being planned in my area, and some talk about how this summer's reaction to it could be similar to or bigger than 2020. Personally I don't know. The 2020 uprisings were global because white supremacy and police brutality are global, but I feel like the US is so particularly backwards regarding abortion that you'd have a hard time getting protests going in other countries where the right to choose is more well-protected.

    Nothing substantial will happen. The media in this country has convinced people to accept 1 million covid deaths. Literally a million people were sacrificed to capital. Smoothing over the loss of abortion rights will be a piece of cake for them by comparison.

        I'm with you, a global uprising is farfetched but it's also our only hope. The western left will never achieve anything imo. 99% chance humanity dives headfirst into climate genocide, 1% chance the PLA/allied global south forces land on American soil and we get the good ending.

        On the other hand, even though COVID is manmade, it doesn't feel manmade. It's this virus, or at most it's all those annoying anti mask people.

        This is directly coming from the state. People get angrier about that than a seemingly natural phenomenon.
