More than 100 arrested as NYPD cops in riot gear storm Columbia University, clear protests
If anyone wondered what would have happened in the US if the US had a wave of protests similar to Hong Kong... This is what would have happened. In fact, this protest seems better organized, more structured, and a little awe inspiring to be honest
Now the question is if the students can organize en masse and march on the capital to occupy the Capitol.
You don't match on the capitol unless you want to be painted with the same brush as the Jan 6 Rioters.
Even Caesar knew what crossing the Rubicon meant, and would result in.
Coordinated peaceful protests are the only way to go
These kids are already being attacked by state security forces using more weaponry than the Jan 6 traitors were facing and your conclusion is we need more peace?
Coordinated peaceful protests never achieved a major right.
Coordinated peaceful protests are what an authoritarian system tells you is "the only way to go, bcs we don't want to get attracted when the majority wants a change we the few don't want" ...
HK was hugely coordinated though. It would be like if not just a campus but the whole city was in on it because they knew they didn't have a choice, and the tactics were more specific to what would work against the CCP, not the US. If it was in another country that wasn't an oppressive autocracy, it would probably have been very effective.
Edit: hey downvote if you want, but tell me something like this doesn't take coordination:

Their oppressive autocracy vs our (?)
This is... Not evidence of coordination, but of network effects. The same reason that hockey fans descending into a riot after losing Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals is not an indication that they organized a riot.
Liberal media in HK pumped up the young full of lies in HK so they would protest against a country that would provide them housing, a better quality of living and most importantly; democracy. Its a hard truth to swallow but more HK protestors killed other HK people than police vs HK protestors...
Something most people in HK dont have as an account of being a british colony for 100 years.
Unlike the Hong Kong protests, these protests are for actual issues instead of an NED fueled fight to prevent the extradition of a guy who murdered his girlfriend.
Ask Trump, he's good at that kind of thing.
That's exactly what they should do. Take this energy to DC and storm the Capital.
You guys really try to use that to make it less of an issue.
Man you're fucking stupid if you're anything but a troll or this is a bad joke. The capital building is just a building. Taking control of it does nothing. It's just a good way to destroy a movement. You don't put all of your biggest followers into a group to do something illegal in a way that makes them easy to track and follow, especially when achieving victory still does nothing except getting you arrested or killed a little while after and doing nothing.
Congress can operate operate out of any building. They operate out of that one by tradition. It doesn't hold any power itself. If you take it then now you have control of a perfectly normal building, not something powerful.
