This is the third post i made today related to the wedding protests. I hope you people enjoy. I'm sharing these because many of the protesters behind it are getting arrested.

I'm glad you are. I love the "No Kings" slogan and that other countries are taking it up. I wish they would call the next protest in America "No Kings II, then whatever they were going to call it here." I guess we could could call it unofficially, "No Kings II."

UK here - dearly wish we would take up the No Kings thing... 😔

From the outside looking in, the pageantry of it all is probably why it sticks. You also have someone to talk about. We get the drama of US citizens and immigrants being sent to concentration camps or prisons in other countries.

Also outside looking in:

From what I’ve heard the royals bring in a lot of tourism money.. or used to anyway.. idk about this -ahem- new fella..

Just give him time, I'm sure people will start respecting him if he does a good job for 20-30 years

[-] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago

Why are the protestors getting arrested?

[-] starlinguk@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Italy has a fascist government, and the council of Venice is pro Bezos, claiming that somehow he has more right to rent Venice than its citizens have to live in it.

[-] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago

Ugh, that sucks.

[-] brachiosaurus@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

Law after law the government is criminalizing protests. In St Mark's Square any non-authorized protest is prohibited so even a sit-in could result in breaking the law. Here's the moment they arrested someone in a wheelchair:

Not all heroes wear capes, and you’re a magnificent human for helping spread this content. It’s important.

Great work. Way to stick your neck out.

(Accidentally dropped the comment on the main post instead of this comment, oops)

Keep going, ~~King~~ buddy.

I hope knowing that people all over the world viscerally hate him damages his calm on an ongoing basis.

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 12 points 1 month ago

It's always projection with these people!

[-] Placebonickname@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I haven’t been reading too much news lately. What is going on with Jeff Bezos and why are people protesting him? 

[-] Anarki_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

He's getting married in Venice with all of his friends there. People are protesting because Venice is pretty crowded with tourists and vulnerable to climate change. Also he's Jeff Bezos.

[-] Zier@fedia.io 4 points 1 month ago

$20 million wedding in Venice.

[-] crank0271@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Honestly, that doesn't strike me as a ton of money for his wedding. He must not care too much for this wife.

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 8 points 1 month ago

Most of the dowery went into her face

[-] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago

Wow, and it still failed.

[-] Cenzorrll@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

With an absurd number of billionaires flying in on private jets to attend

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

And celebrities

Just as tonedeaf as them pretending "we're just like you" when COVID happened and they were forced to stay in their mansions as everyone struggled.

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

11of 12
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez

Lmao well, I'd hope they went to the wedding

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah what a dumb part of the article lol. That being said, I'm sure there were more celebrities that managed to sneak in without being recognized

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I don't even care who goes. It's a big party. Why not.

I love the publics response though. We need more of that.

[-] starlinguk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It's not the wedding. It's that he wanted to take over the entire centre of Venice.

[-] TheProtagonist@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

This will come out nicely on the wedding pictures.

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's probably pretty easy to shop out

[-] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Love it!! Just needs a little Luigi emoji 👌

[-] starlinguk@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It's time for Led by Donkeys to get involved.

[-] copdeb@crazypeople.online 2 points 1 month ago
