    Protests are happening. Protesters are being harassed by police and counter-protesters. Mass media is under orders to downplay the protests. You can find some local coverage, but that's about it.

      Yeah that's the impression I'm getting, total media lockdown but they ARE happening. Not the same as the 2020 blm uprisings probably because they haven't set any buildings on fire (they should).

      If the protests are happening out there where’s the indie coverage like we got for the 2020 riots? Not saying it doesn’t exist I just haven’t seen anything passed around here yet

        That was almost all unicorn riot on twitch, they were banned for inciting violence.

          banned for inciting violence.

          Jesus fucking christ.

          In the Soviet Union media is censored so the population doesn't know what's going on.

      This matches up what I'm seeing. Protests are even happening in rural areas but its not coverd. The whole 'Muricans dumb and passive tee hee' is some manufactured consent.

    I'm kind of a hermit, so don't weight this too much, but I haven't seen any real opposition firsthand.

    Brunch with a side of symbolic gestures. :reddit-logo: loves brownie points for protest selfies and I'm not seeing them.

    This is pathetic but the biggest protesting happening right now is in liberal newspapers.

    The real heroes of the moment are like lawyers and doctors and other specialists who, when they did resist, naturally kept it on the dl.
