  • A quarter of the working age population is functionally unemployed. They can’t afford to protest the way you want or they won’t eat, will lose their housing because there’s no social safety nets. Of the few that existed those were some of the first things to go.

    Americans could petition their government representation to fix that but that representation either doesn’t care or has no power in the current system.

    What you’re talking about would be, essentially, a siege with each side trying to wait out the other; and that’s assuming you could get enough people together.

    Let’s compare France, a country known for protest, with the US:

    • France population ~70 million

    • US population ~340 million

    • France size ~551,000km squared

    • US size ~9,900,000km squared

    With just those two numbers we can see that France’s population is ~1/5th of the US in a country roughly 1/18th the size of the US. That’s without getting into the transportation options that are available in France that aren’t available in the US to get people to the seat of power.

    There has been an ongoing campaign to weaken the power of the citizens of the US for decades and that’s not the only place. Fascism is on the rise globally.



  • with the massive presence of US media and popular culture

    Look to the billionaires, the Epstein class, for who’s to blame for that.

    Almost a quarter of American adults have never traveled abroad. Only another quarter has been to 5 or more countries. Americans, by and large, only understand the world outside of their own country in the terms American media presents it to them.
