"Comparing Protest Cultures: Spaniards vs. Americans"

Tens of thousands of protesters in Spain have been demonstrating against an amnesty deal between President Pedro Sánchez and Catalan separatists, which violated the Spanish constitution. The protests, organized by conservative parties, are not only about defending the constitution but also about concerns regarding the failing economy, two-tier justice, mass illegal immigration, speech policing, globalism, demonization of Spanish history, and loss of Spanish identity. The article questions why Americans aren't protesting similar issues, such as a rigged election, border security, and erosion of civil liberties. It suggests that fear and intimidation, along with the targeting and demonization of conservatives, have silenced and discouraged protests. The article highlights the importance of bravery and self-sacrifice in defending a nation against destructive forces and draws parallels between Spain's experience with communism and the need for Americans to regain their fortitude.
