I mean that's pretty much where everything was in 2019 right before the thing that prevented people from meeting up happened

I mean, the "preventing public meetings" blocked this kind of action, but those actions are just the tip of the iceberg of anger, criticism of capitalism and organizing, they didn't really disappear, they were just hidden

We're too cowardly to do major strikes in the US.

Too disorganized, really. I honestly believe that most Americans would join pre-existing protests given the chance.

too divided imo. the media divides us and poisons us against collective action. (I'm in australia and we have the same problem, and the problem is approximately: rupert murdoch)

republicans and democrats basically want the same thing (at least on this particular issue), but misinformation redirects the anger away from the true problems

That’s odd, the problem in the US also is approximately Rupert Murdoch

BLM Protesters burnt down a police station. It's not a question of courage, it's a question of organisation and police. America's lack of a large trade union movement, and especially one committed to leftist or left wing ideals, is a big problem. Also, of the nations dealing with strikes in the image above, the only ones with anything close to American levels of brutality and militarisation is South Africa and Greece.

Yeah, the balance of power in the US is very heavily weighted toward the right wing. Look at how the protestors get treated. Battle lines of live ammo carrying national guard on the steps of the capitol when BLM shows up. Enviro protestors murdered out of hand. But when the MAGAts show up, only a few brave heroes fight back. It's entrenched, too. There are very few actual left-wing politicians in the US, and they are hamstrung, so they can barely make any moves. We need a serious left movement in the US. But we better be ready for the FBI to infiltrate and set us up.
