    unionizing and striking in the u.s. is decimated and barely making a comeback. organizers get raided by the police pretty easily. Protections have been systematically removed in a lot of states systematically by persistant corporate lobbiests.

    how does it work were you’re from…?

      Not that bad by far. We have laws protecting our rights to peacefully protest even if it does disrupt infrastructure (blocking roads or entrances is the usual form of protest due to this)

      I didn’t know protesting could be dangerous in the US; getting arrested and serving a few months in jail for the greater good is one thing but I’ve seen news of US officers straight up killing people they didn’t like (esp. of African descent)
