Protesters violently storming US capitol
US police: I sleep
Protesters peacefully protesting Israel
US police: real shit
Why would they arrest coworkers at the capital?
Which is really weird because they are generally anti Israel nazis and racists
Chuds support Israel unquestioningly.
What is a chud please excuse my ignorance
Derogatory term for a conservative.

A dickhead
Nah. They’re normally anti jewish people. Pro nationalism, but still racist.
Nah, Nazis love Israel. They want Jewish people to live somewhere else, and Israel is somewhere else. If there wasn’t an Israel, then they’d have to either get used to coexisting with Jewish people or kill them all. Israel presents an easier solution, which coincidentally also happens to slaughter semitic palestinians en masse.
It’s because they know it’s less likely that they get hurt in peaceful protest and they’re more likely to die when protesters are ready to respond with violence and weapons.
Now that’s a stat
Not that it is not worrying that peaceful protesters are arrested but but 2 months are just roughly 4 times two weeks while Hong Kong’s population (7.35 million) is just 1/45th of the US population (333 million).
I think it would be more accurate to look at the size of the protests, because not the entire population is out protesting.

Is there anything more liberal than pearl clutching about property damage when your regime is actively participating a literal genocide.
That is so much like a precision air strike on a home, you must be devastated. I’m so sorry for your loss.
this makes me sick
A handful of protests aren’t gonna rattle genocide joe
Does anybody know where they getting the numbers for this claim? I see that they cited “Associated Press and other sources” for the US protest arrest numbers, but no source for Hong Kong protest arrests numbers.
I would like to find some corroboration for this claim and all I can find for Hong Kong is a count of deaths, injuries, arrests, and charges once public protests had effectively ceased.
For the Associated Press, 2,300 arrests.
The numbers I’m seeing for Hong Kong are in excess of 10,000 in connection with the protests, but those protests lasted for a lot longer (20 months) and were much larger. Millions marched, representing a large portion of the population. The video specifically selected a semi-arbitrary time frame of several months. I guess the idea is to select a slice of the time frame of the Hong Kong protests that produced 2,300 arrests?
The protests in the US just haven’t been comparable in size or length. And there is where the comparison is going to be awkward. These sorts of protests have a history of burning themselves out fairly quickly in the US. I remember Occupy Wall Street and its spin offs lasted a few months, made its mark, but kind of fizzled. The BLM/George Floyd protests of 2020 had the same thing happen. Not that Occupy or BLM themselves died, but the clashes that were driving arrests ended. So in the end, I’m not really sure what the comparison with Hong Kong was supposed to show.
