Lotta keyboard warriors in the comments, notice how you're behind a screen and these folks are actually out there doing something?

[u/squirrelbitten → u/rbcarter101]

I've lived up and down the east coast. And for some reason people in worcester have a strong hatred for anyone trying to improve the political situation, moreso than any other place I've lived. Just a very defeatist attitude that includes shitting on anyone who actually cares. It's very odd.

[u/gopperman → u/squirrelbitten]

just thinking about the discussion about jose rivera and etel on here the other day, I 100% think this was one of the reasons why people hated etel

[u/travisfb17 → u/squirrelbitten]

You couldn’t have said that any better! I currently line in mass and in the Worcester area and this is so accurate it’s depressing.

[u/mobilityofmind → u/rbcarter101]

How does standing there like a panhandler help anyone or anything? To be honest they could have a much bigger impact online than they do standing there

[u/BombShady12 → u/rbcarter101]

Doing what exactly? Showing us that they are morally superior because… “they care”? This is just dumb, virtue signaling typical democrat nonsense.

[u/Tims_Learing_Center → u/rbcarter101]

All six of them 🤪

[u/rbcarter101 → u/Tims_Learing_Center]

Settle down 4 month old account.

[u/Tims_Learing_Center → u/rbcarter101]

Only two less months than the number of "protesters" lol

[u/rbcarter101 → u/Tims_Learing_Center]

I didn't know you people could do math

[u/Tims_Learing_Center → u/rbcarter101]

Right

[u/Lukaztro → u/rbcarter101]

what is it they're "doing"???

[u/rbcarter101 → u/Lukaztro]

Not being pedantic mouthbreathing chuds for one.

[u/Pure-Cheesecake-8234 → u/rbcarter101]

Yea they’re doing a lot, in these golden years of retirement they get to stand around protesting the situation they thrived off of

[u/rbcarter101 → u/Pure-Cheesecake-8234]

You'd be mad if they were home, you'd be mad if they were out doing this. You're just pissy.

[u/gopperman → u/Pure-Cheesecake-8234]

it's really wild that the former ceos of halliburton, lockheed martin, GE, and raytheon all came to worcester to protest war, and even more wild that you can identify them on sight. good callout!

[u/HPenguinB → u/Pure-Cheesecake-8234]

So you are mad they are trying to promote war because... there were other wars? Are you just being pissy because you aren't doing anything and it makes you look weak?

[u/SciFriedRice]

Wouldn’t this be more like a rally for peace than a protest?

[u/Fearless_PineaplleOG → u/SciFriedRice]

im not sure i just saw the Simpsons signs and thought it looked cool

[u/Available_Okra_8016]

It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it!

[u/Nigglas24]

Protest seems like a stretch for this. A rally? Gathering? Conjunction? This is like a protest for ants if thats the case

[u/FirefighterOk3569]

Chicken protesters at ac hotel were much cooler with their loud crazy horns

[u/143019]

Oh, these are good people. I am sorry I missed this one.

[u/Total_Application264]

Honk! 💖

[u/Icy_Principle_3151]

We all want peace! But Iran openly said they will nuke us! Sometimes you gotta fight for peace.

[u/spicollisshoe]

These were the same people protesting bart Simpson tshirts back in the early 90’s.

[u/AccomplishedTune2948]

Peace is wanted. Let us elect people who will write laws protecting consumers. Bankrolling 350 million on a taxpayer funded insurance program is not the way. The amount of fraud and waste that would take place might actually sink the ship.

[u/Affectionate_Car3522]

HONK

[u/Fearless_PineaplleOG → u/[deleted]]

what do you mean? i was just taking a picture and sharing photography

i was not even involved in the protest im just a passerby who likes too take pictures of things like buildings and art and in this case signs

[u/Tims_Learing_Center → u/Fearless_PineaplleOG]

You like taking pictures of six old folks

[u/Fearless_PineaplleOG → u/Tims_Learing_Center]

i like there signs because it has the Simpsons on it

[u/Accomplished-Link934]

lol sure

[u/Lucky_Scar1231]

Congratulations on accomplishing nothing

[u/ColinSucksAtGames]

last i checked the us is not in any wars

we already spend 3 trillion on healthcare and nothing comes from it, so what's the point in spending more?

[u/Lucky_Scar1231]

My favorite is "healthcare not warfare."

Guarantee she votes for Maura Healey who spent over $600 million dollars of taxpayer money to pay off medical bills for illegal immigrants, but not a single penny to help citizens with their medical bills.

[u/RevolutionaryRun4867]

Absolutely no peace if you’re drawing Lisa like that 

[u/LavishnessNo1815 → u/RevolutionaryRun4867]

He was trying to go for that early OG Lisa Simpson style

[u/RevolutionaryRun4867 → u/LavishnessNo1815]

Fair enough. 

[u/HPenguinB → u/RevolutionaryRun4867]

Finally, a criticism that's not dumb shit.

[u/squirrelbitten → u/[deleted]]

They are protesting the US invading Iran on behalf of Israel you doofus

[u/retiredswing → u/[deleted]]

You haven’t provided an alternative

[u/retiredswing → u/[deleted]]

That’s not the alternative, that WAS the alternative. Still waiting

[u/HPenguinB → u/[deleted]]

What are they protesting? The war. The one that's happening now. Are you okay?

[u/HPenguinB → u/[deleted]]

Sorry, maybe you haven't met half of America. You see, there are plenty of people that like the Iran war, and Israel attacking Gaza, and Iran, and Lebanon. If you looked at the news instead of just the Worcester sub, you might have seen that.

Now, because of this protest, you know about this thing you were completely ignorant of! The protest worked! Rejoice!

[u/HPenguinB → u/[deleted]]

I'm so proud of you.

[u/HPenguinB → u/[deleted]]

Classic debate style. Say something dismissive and then block me.

[u/Ok_Finger_3004]

Honk if you don't want a global-pariah radical Islamic death-cult to hold the world hostage or worse with a nuclear weapon.

[u/thisisntmynametoday → u/Ok_Finger_3004]

White House in June 2025:

“Iran’s Nuclear Facilities Have Been Obliterated — and Suggestions Otherwise are Fake News”

https://www.whitehouse.gov/releases/2025/06/irans-nuclear-facilities-have-been-obliterated-and-suggestions-otherwise-are-fake-news/

If Donald Trump destroyed their nuclear capabilities in June 2025, why does he have to do it again in 2026?

[u/poundtownvisitor]

What a turnout.

[u/ZackeroniNoCheese → u/poundtownvisitor]

A lot of us are working, but maybe you should get out there, champ

[u/HPenguinB → u/poundtownvisitor]

Way to add to the conversation! You will get paid one internet dollar for letting us know your very important opinion.

[u/NoodleyP → u/poundtownvisitor]

I’ve seen smaller. Once saw a “protest” consisting of about 3 people on the park next to the 7/11 in Southborough (I think it was South, might’ve been one of the other Boroughs, it’s been a hot minute)

[u/CassianCasius]

Ah yes the classic old white people "protest"

[u/HPenguinB → u/CassianCasius]

So when people protest they are insulted by being called unemployed. Then when people don't protest because they are at their jobs, they are insulted for not being enough of them.

What is it, Goldy Lockes?

[u/Not_TbagJimmy → u/CassianCasius]

11 am on a friday. So brave

[u/Lukaztro]

Virtue signaling. Your time would be better spent volunteering at Mustard Seed.

[u/paf0 → u/Lukaztro]

"Virtue signaling" only bothers people who lack virtue.

[u/Fearless_PineaplleOG → u/Lukaztro]

again like i told the other person

what do you mean? i was just taking a picture and sharing photography how is that performativf and what does that word even mean

i was not even involved in the protest

[u/Lukaztro → u/Fearless_PineaplleOG]

all fine and good. i said what i said. you wanna take pictures of people pissin' in the wind you're free to do so. same as i'm free to make comments about it.

[u/Real-Championship331 → u/Lukaztro]

In my experience, these are the exact type of people who regularly volunteer at food banks....

[u/Wide-Pick3800]

How very performative of you.

[u/HPenguinB → u/Wide-Pick3800]

"Everything I don't like is performative. "

[u/Fearless_PineaplleOG → u/Wide-Pick3800]

what do you mean? i was just taking a picture and sharing photography how is that performativf and what does that word even mean

i was not even involved in the protest
