    The US withdrew from Vietnam because they lost a shit ton of their own troops, as well as getting their asses handed to them during the Tet Offensive.

    The USSR and China also played a huge role diplomatically to get them to withdraw.

    No amount of peaceful protest can shake the war machine.

    To add to this: after the Kent State shooting, 58% of those who were polled placed the blame on the students, 11% blamed the national guard, and 31% just wanted to grillexpressed no opinion.

    There was a poll done 50 years after the shooting, 16% blamed the students, 29% blamed the national guard, 27% expressing no opinion, and the rest blaming Nixon or governor Rhodes.

    Peaceful protest doesn’t do shit to change public opinion, especially not now when it isn’t covered by zionist media.
