If you were so against US imperialism you would do things like protest at home and tell you representatives you’re against it.

This does not work lol

What, after 3 of these NoKings """protests""" that there was no change whatsoever? The frog costumes doesn't convince anyone. 3 paragraph signs doesn't convince anyone.

The Viet Minh should have simply written strongly worded letters to US senators to convince them to stop incinerating their villages. But alas they chose violence instead, which makes them just as bad as the US death-and-rape squads. I am a serious anti-imperialist and these are my very cool thoughts

Viet Minh did but forgot their frog costumes so they weren't able to convince the US.

No, obviously it's not enough, but still better than being an edgelord online.

In what way is doing frog costume bullshit better than dismantling the harmful mythology of our monstrous death machine
