    Lebanese Revolutionaries Are Giving Advice To American Protesters On Twitter

    For over the last 24-hours, امريكا_تنتفض# (America revolts) has been the number one trending on Lebanese Twitter.

    Tweets in which Lebanese protesters make comparisons between the Minneapolis riots and the October 17 Revolution flooded the social platform.

    For those who don’t know, riots broke out across America as a result of the rise in police brutality towards African Americans, namely George Floyd who died by choking while a white police officer knelt on his neck. Disgraceful.

    Since then, US riot police have taken to the streets, and nationwide unrest is at large.

    Feeling empathy towards the American protesters, the Lebanese have created a new trending hashtag and it’s نصائح_للثوار_بأميركا# (Advice to American Protesters).

    Within a few hours, the hashtag became #1 in Lebanon trends and reached 15.6M viewers.

    Here are some of the tips Lebanese revolutionaries are eagerly giving to the protesters in America.

    How to repel tear gas bombs:

    “If you want to take a picture, just don’t do it like this, or you’ll become a laughing stock.”

    “If they burn the symbol of your revolution…”

    “If you install a symbol for your revolution and they burn it down, just burn their Statue of Liberty.”

    قبل ما تنزل فكّر شو بدك تقول بس يسألك المراسل : ليش نازل عالشارع .. وافضل جواب بعد خبرة : نازل قصّر البنطلون !!

    “Before you go down [to the protest], think about what you want to say when the reporter asks: ‘Why did you go down the street…’ The best answer after my experience is: I came down to get my pants shortened!!”

    You don’t need to be violent all the time
