I haven't been able to keep up with the thread completely but I was wondering something and I would really appreciate if someone could give some insight.
When the attack happened there were a few users like @NEETzsche saying that something needs to be done, the local population should do an uprising of sorts to demand change. Afterwards some other users called him a glowie. That's something that I've seen happen a lot the past two years and it got me thinking why it is that the glowie "meme" became this popular all of a sudden. I was talking with another user that I absolutely agree that some things have to change in the US (but I don't say anything because I don't live there and it would be extremely snobbish to think I could comment on their problems) and that uprisings should happen, but I don't exactly understand why it's automatically assumed that the person meant a violent one.
In my country when we talk about uprisings and protests we think of, for example, strikes and picket lines. Imagine, for instance, that in the whole state of Wisconsin the population organizes a strike of truck drivers and cheesemakers for, say, a year, to protest against the injustice that just happened. Or if you want something less dramatic, imagine a picket line in front of the Courthouse to protest against the Kenosha DA and ADA that lasts a month. How come this is practically never cogitated when talking about uprisings and protests? Of course that's not going to bring back those lost in this attack and when comparing the two (strike/picket line and terrorist attack in a Christmas parade) it would seem like a fly on an elephants back, but it's not necessary to think of "peaceful protests" in the same way as Antifa/CNN does, whitey could have their own way of protesting that they can't tamper with.
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm genuinely curious and, again, I would appreciate if someone could give me some insight.
