Its crazy to think if I weren’t a US citizen and was reading this, I’d think “man that’s 50 individual locations for everyone to be able to participate if they want.”
When the reality is, if I wanted to attend my New York Stare protest in Albany, id be looking at a 5-6ish one way trip, 10-12hrs round trip just driving. I’m totally guessing tho. Ive never gone from my house to Albany before. Only ever went there from either the adks or NYC coming back to Buffalo with other stops on the way home. I’ve always used 7 1/2hrs as the time it takes to get to NYC so that’s where I’m getting 5-6hrs Buffalo to Albany.
Protest where you live. Protest where people are. Wait that doesn’t work in the US. Protest on the Walmart parking lot. Fuck trying to hit individual record numbers on prime time news noone cares noone watches that shit if it even gets reported, be visible to your neighbours they can’t censor that. Think globally, act locally. Have grandmas and cookies.
Lol homie, where are you getting 715 cities in Germany from? According to Wikipedia, Germany has 11 cities.
Berlin/Brandenburg Metropolitan Region
Central German Metropolitan Region
Frankfurt/Rhine-Main Metropolitan Region
Hamburg Metropolitan Region
Hannover-Braunschweig-Göttingen-Wolfsburg Metropolitan Region
Munich Metropolitan Region
Northwest Metropolitan Region
Nuremberg Metropolitan Region
Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region
Rhine-Ruhr Metropolitan Region (also covers the Cologne Bonn Region)
Stuttgart Metropolitan Region
Is this a translation thing where you are calling every municipality a “city?” If that’s the case then the comparison would be 715 towns/villages/cities for Germany vs approximately 30,000 towns/villages/cities in the USA.
The organized protests are only happening in each state’s capital. Which is one city per state that someone a long time ago in a galaxy far far away decided would be called that State’s Capital City.
I just plugged in my state capital into my driving app. It says it will take 6 hours and 51 minutes one-way. Yeah, I can’t even afford the gas for that. So I checked public transportation and it said 12 hours one-way and one of the three tickets I’d have to buy was $100. Your tldr is spot on.
Thanks for the only rational reply lol. All the love to the other two replies but one of those starts out, “America isn’t a country it’s a continent.” ??? While the other comment is telling me the 715 municipalities in Germany dwarf the 50 locations in the US. Lol. Cheers for following the conversation rationally 🍻
America’s government is not a government. It is the largest, most varied, most complex single human organization that has ever existed. Also the most powerful. But very little of it is organized. And almost all of it, to almost everyone, is invisible.
America’s culture is not a culture. It has cultures within in, and some are quite good. Once you’ve met with the beating heart, it’s hard to forget. But like the onion it has no center. Once you reach the center of the dream, you realize it is nothing but marketing, it never existed.
America is sleeping fitfully. America died long ago. America has yet to be born. America was always a lie.

Tldr: Yo, America’s big as fuck.
Nah, 50 locations is rookie numbers. Like, Germany has 715 cities over 20k pop and I just checked and yep the smallest one did have a protest in 2024 when the AfD “remigration” plans became public.
