    I don’t think you understand.

    1000001812

    https://www.democracynow.org/2025/6/16/no_kings

    just pointing out, Scotland only has 5.5 million people living in it.

    1000001813

    that would mean for Scotland to “do a better job at protesting this fuck than the US.” every single man, woman, child and elder would have to be in your streets right now.

    how shit is that, you can’t even organize 5 million people for a simple protest.

    update: I’m not even going to wait on this because the numbers are abysmal. Edinburgh is calling in “hundreds” of protestors and I’ll give the benefit of the doubt to Scotland and say there’s 1000 protestors nationwide.

    many of you twats argued it should be measured by per capita, so let’s do that.

    Scotland

    • population 5,500,000
    • trump golf protest 1000
    • per capita 0.00018

    in comparison to the US.

    • population 347,411,739
    • no kings 5,000,000
    • per capita 0.014

    but hey, it’s not a competition, I just don’t like it when someone denigrates the efforts of people to make themselves feel better. I know what you’re thinking, “aren’t you being a little hypocritical?” no I’m not, because I’m simply calling out bullshit with facts.

    those in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

    don’t like it? tough shit. next time don’t talk shit and there won’t be shit.

      I think they meant as a percentage of the population. Americans with the second amendment are notoriously docile little pups when it comes to protesting anything, let alone the illegitimately installed head of their state actively destroying their country their are so notoriously patriotic about.
