      We have the Russian “and then it got worse” do nothing attitude. We aren’t even gonna try to do anything till its far too late.

      Protests within US are limited to major cities otherwise logistics are fucked due to suburb lay out of the most of the country.

      Also, most of are just too docile, it ain’t an issue I til they personally get fucked.

        That’s their point: America never does anything. People love to act like they stand for something, but cower at the slightest consequence or inconvenience.

          Last time we had a major protest in the city of Chicago, 24 people died. That’s a little more than “the slightest consequence or inconvenience”

          Luigi’s protest was way more efficient. Only one person has died.

          Yes but they need all those guns if the government oversteps. Well corporations have overstepped and been stealing our money for decades and nothing happens. By dteeling I mean our wages are stagnent but c suite have increased immensely.

      We would, but most of us are too unhealthy from lack of access to affordable healthcare and can lose our jobs if we try to take time off work.

      Tinfoil hat time. Our government fucking hates our asses. Lower class? Get shot, die from preventable diseases, whatever, just do it quietly so it doesn’t bother the wealthy while they grease each other’s palms.

      When we have protests large enough to get noticed, we get attacked by the police. Why should the protesters have to suffer? Make the oppressors suffer instead.
