Lebanon Is Hilariously Using the “American Revolts” Tweets In Lebanese Protest Context

Twitter/Unknown

Riots in America started after a series of brutal and unjust killings of several African Americans by police brutality.

Empathizing based on what they experienced during the October 17 Revolution, Lebanese protesters have switched their hashtag “Lebanon Revolts” لبنان_ينتفض# to “America Revolts” أميركا_تنتفض#.

They are using previous statements of Lebanese politicians and anti-revolution media outlets, as well as incidents, and applying them to the American context.

And they have been flooding the social media platform with their tweets.

Although the riots resulted from something terrible, the Lebanese are doing what they always do when in terrible situations themselves. They switch to ironic and sometimes amusing remarks that only Lebanese could understand.

In many ways, these tweets from the Lebanese protesters, while being hilarious, are a show of support and empathy to the American protesters.
