I am fine with protests however there is a fine line between protests and public disturbance, violence/threat any kind of targeting of people who are directly related to your opposition or to people who are not interested and forcing them to adopt a stance through coercion is not protest as you said, it is zealotry. Protesters arrested for shutting down golden gate bridge and harassing people in my view is well within Law enforcements right to protect the interest of the public.
This is the exact same thing people said about Martin Luther-King during the civil rights movement in the USA. His disapproval rating was over 70% at time of assassination.

Also CNN pretty much has a livefeed of what Israel is doing. Most of it's just photos of dead children, I'd say that's pretty critical.

Where did I restrict it to just being about the US government? Yes it's obvious that they're a bunch of embarrassing, lying hypocrites when it comes to Israel but powerful people within US society who have positions of influence are Israeli sympathisers and look to shut down legitimate criticism of Israel.
And your last paragraph was laughable. Very Rachel Riley-esque.
USA has 330,000,000 people.

Just read news, I'd missed when they were more highly current. Leading AFD politician is brought to court for "using symbols of unconstitutional and terroristic organisations" because the infamous SA slogan "Alles für Deutschland" (translates to "Everything for Germany") in a public speech. Thought that might interest you @OrangeKhrush since you said there were no fascist tendencies in the AFD whilst repeatedly calling the governmental parties Nazi without any calms.
PS: In case you don't know who SA were, just google them. You can colour me surprised, if the English speaking first research site wouldn't suplly them given foreigners obsessinon with that part of German history.
We know all about South Africa mate

Are Burritos not sealed by melting cheese on the outside of the wrap

I did, but barely cos I was only there for a few days and one of those days was the wedding we were attending. I'll have to go back to check out a shitload of the stuff I missed. But with CDMX I'm planning on staying for more than just 3 days and I'll get to plan out all the shit I'll be doing, instead of just doing whatever my pals planned out for us while we were out there for his wedding.
I was in the thick of Puerto Vallarta

It'll be a hell of a lot less gringo than a resort
Did you not leave the resort?

My Mexico City trip (which is just in the planning stages, nothing set in stone yet) should be a far less gringo experience than my recent Puerto Vallarta experience which was the most gringo experience I've had in Mexico by far.
But honestly, every trip to Mexico I've had has been pretty gringo because I am a gringo - I'm not sure actual Mexicans from Mexico have to deal with things like getting pulled over and told you've broken some traffic law you haven't broken... but really you're just in a rental car heading towards the border crossing. They'll tell you they have to take your drivers license unless you pay a "fine", but if you tell them you want an actual written citation and you'll go to the station with them to pay the fine they'll tell you to fuck off and go on your way. I'm pretty sure that is something that only happens to gringos.
I really don't think CDMX will be any less gringo

Tbf I was in that resort that was very much designed for gringos.
I also wasn't talking shit about Mexican food, I was just saying loading a burrito with rice and beans is bullshit.
I think you just don't like burritos mate

I didn't eat burritos in Puerto Vallarta tbh. Tacos, fajitas, and quesadillas though, which were all so good. Like I said, I've only had burritos twice in Tijuana - and I probably won't have them again.
Man you can't be talking shit about Mexican food when you had fajitas, the food that Mexicans make fun of gringos for liking

Not in my experience, at least with burritos I've had in Mexico. Granted I've only had them in one city and from 2 different places. The burritos I've had in Mexico were in Tijuana and they were very different to the burritos people would typically picture. They're much thinner and the only filling was meat. Thought it was a bit strange and between tacos in Mexico or the types of burritos I've had in Mexico, tacos win hands down.
In Southern California and Texas, I think rice and beans are just filler to make burritos look fatter, cos gringos love big fat burritos. It's why the California burrito took off, adding chips to the burrito was a low cost way of stuffing a carne asada burrito to look much fatter without actually adding more meat. You go too far north in California and the burritos start looking like absolute monsters but that's because it's 80% rice and beans and barely any of what it's actually supposed to be - these burritos are absolute bullshit. In San Diego if you see a burrito with rice & beans, it's a bullshit burrito and you shouldn't get it.
But Mexico's a big country and culinary styles change from region to region in any country, and Mexico is no exception, so I'm sure some Mexicans do put rice and beans in burritos. But most people worldwide when they're thinking of burritos, they're thinking of Tex-Mex style burritos. And a lot of those do have rice and beans in them. But too much of that and I think it's absolute bullshit just to inflate a burrito and use up less of the more expensive ingredients.
I literally just asked a couple of Mexicans

All protests are legitimate, any otherwise would by hypocritical to you libertarianism. There were considerably violent protests, either by those protesting or more often violence by the state. The protests that happened would fall under your idea of illegitimate.
You care more about property than people.
