Yeah it’s just like the motherfuckers from CBC only showing scattered groups of people on the camera, while behind them 180 degrees was a sea of a quarter million people in Ottawa on the grounds of parliament.
One report in Thailand said over a hundred thousand protesters and counter protesters... That's an interesting way of framing it.
10x the media number and probably about right In 2020 we attended some anti-lockdown protests in Melbourne, the media reported hundreds, I saw thousands It was one of the first times I saw with my own eyes the government propaganda shilled by “News” channels

Me and my hippy buddy drove for 4 days in shit weather and nearly got smoked head on by two semis avoiding snowdrifts to get there. Not to protest. That is a waste of time. I just wanted to see to what degree it was being underreported. Once I got there I experienced the first bit of national pride I have ever experienced. It was magic. The coolest thing was that there were 30+ local people I knew that wanted to go that couldn’t. Attendance would’ve been 10x if the country wasn’t so damn big. Instead, these good people handed us wads of cash to cover fuel and accommodations all the way there and back. The whole trip was about $1200. I think I was out of pocket maybe $60 by the time it was over. The thing that impressed me the most was the number of Gen Z kids I met from our home province and further west in BC. It really gave me hope that we can push back against these forces that are threatening our freedom and pursuit of happiness.
Oh. For free speech? That's cool. The idea of policing speech has a short experation date. People just don't realize it yet.

They always under report those who follow a narrative that the establishment doesn't want, and over estimate those that do. The system is very corrupt but people are waking up to it now. (Which is why the governments are trying to shut down social media and the internet in general)

I've never watched TV since 2020 covid propaganda
The saddest thing of all is that all those people are essentially pleading with their masters to ease the laws and rules imposed on them. They continue to accept that they are legitimate masters instead of taking them out completely. Governments that behave like the one in the UK need to be taken out completely. They should not be negotiated with.

The revolution won't be televised. It always starts with a mass of fearless humans who shut down the government propaganda towers.
Go to any protest big enough to not get ignored by the news. This happens almost always.

I can't imagine that many had heard of it in Nepal until the recent protests either. Though I guess Nepal did use the nuclear option on turning off access to conventional social media. Necessity is the mother of innovation...
