Lemmy, is a tiny portion of the Internet. If I was posting something with a call to action this small community is not where I would post to reach the most people .
Every state has a National Guard. I can see how that would be confusing now that you mention it, but they’re basically just a reservist military that the governors mostly control outside of an official war.
In any event, they’re still federal military, the fascists would just mobilize the real army, like how the shitcan is trying to send 700 Marines.
Because there’s National Guard in every state. The National Guard deployed in LA is just the California National Guard. And it’s just a fraction of the CA National Guard being used. And most of them aren’t doing much (some are guarding federal buildings, most don’t even have any orders), it’s actually the LAPD that’s handling the protests.
You can and should have protests in other cities but do so peacefully. If you spend too much time on lemmy you’ll constantly be told we’re about to storm the Bastille any day now. This place is full of psychos that are constantly pushing for violence. They are idiots, you should ignore them.
Honestly if I were conspiratorial minded I might think some of the violence was some false flag kinda shit because burning cars while waving Mexican flags is exactly the imagery Trump did all of this to get.
And most of them aren’t doing much (some are guarding federal buildings, most don’t even have any orders), it’s actually the LAPD that’s handling the protests.
Because they are deployed to protect federal facilities and employees doing their duties, not to break up protests. So until protesters go do something like attack a federal building or assault an ICE agent it’s outside their orders. Protest crowd control is on the regular police.

Uh-huh. Remember, violence from the other side is proof they are violent thugs, violence from my side is a false flag or otherwise caused by the other side. This previous sentence is of course said regardless of what side you are on.
But seriously, this is some “J6 was undercover FBI and Antifa” level bullshit.
Yeah I was meaning why aren’t there more peaceful protests throughout the country, but I guess there have been but Trump has decided to escalate only in California by deploying national guard and marines, and as a result only the California one is getting media coverage.
I don’t think it’s a false flag op, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the burning cars were just a result of a tear gas grenade going through a window and setting fire to the car seat from the heat or something like that…
Why is it only people in Califonia protesting?
The national guard can probably handle almost any number of groups of people in one state, but how many could they handle in 50 states?
It’s not, there have been 1000s of priest throughout the entire country.
The question should be why isn’t the media covering it
And why aren’t people posting about it on Lemmy?
I can’t tell if this is a serious question,

Nah I meant why isn’t anyone posting about the protests that have already happened. But I saw one article about a couple others today.
It isn’t just California. But Cali is getting all the press because corporate media is state media in an oligarchy.
