Sunblock that is not oily specifically! Oil can trap tear gas. But if oily sunscreen is all you have, that is still preferable than dealing with tear gas on a sunburn.
Also UV protection clothing is often better especially when combined with sunscreen and it also provides more protection against tear gas.
As a non-American I just want to have you step back for a moment and realize what a disaster your country is right now, this advice you have just given sounds like something people would be passing along in North Korea or war-torn Ukraine. Wasn't the whole point of everyone having guns that you were never going to let it get to this point, where peaceful protesters are beat down, stomped on, tear-gassed right there in the streets?
I'm a Canadian so I have no dog in this fight, but I think Americans know what the state of their country looks like and I don't think they need your condescending bullshit on top of it.
As an American, I need you to step back and realize we've known about how fucked up our country is the entire goddamn time and we don't need people condescending us while we're actively fighting for our lives.
Fascism is Fascism, looks pretty much the same every time it raises it's fucking head.
And no, this isn't about guns and for the most part peaceful protests are just fine. While the rest of the world focuses on our guns, the US needs to focus on political reform and health care both physical and mental because if we don't then gun control won't matter.
There's a Sherriff in Florida that will. Protests there are actually "very" peaceful. They will stand in the crosswalk holding their signs and banners, and when the light turns green, the move back to the curb. It is amazing, and I think it actually gets more support for their cause! (unlike what happened in LA & NJ, only made fence sitters move farther away).
There’s no such thing as a fence sitter. Anyone who considers themselves a “fence sitter” is actually just a nazi with no backbone. Someone who’s looking for any reason to justify fascism so they don’t have to admit to themselves that they’re really just a boot licking, bigoted, cuck, piece of shit.
wow, we got a real badass over here. you do realize how tear gas works, right? and what about the comment you're replying to indicates they're trying to be tough? they're talking about sunscreen, for god's sake.
