    The problem is the other half that cries it’s being burned, they do absolutely nothing to mitigate this. Americans act like this is something that happened out of a vacuum, rather than take responsibility for decades upon decades of letting elected officials destroy your country. You all act like “it’s not me, I didn’t vote for this” but you all (every American) let this happen. Protesting for one day out of the year ain’t gonna cut it. Where’s the general strikes, and work stoppages, or actual outrage. The rest of the world looks at America and sees nobody actually doing anything. You guys could learn a lot about protesting from other countries like France for example.

      The problem with striking for more then a week will probably leave you homeless and without a safety net, the rulling class know this and know they can sit us out. I think we will see more assassinations and shootings on both sides before anyone learns to protest better because thats more sustainable. Either you die or you get a roof over your head again.

        So you’re fine with fascism as long as you have a roof over your head? Thanks for proving my point

            Try reading your own comment. Quote “The problem with striking for more then a week will probably leave you homeless and without a safety net, the rulling class know this and know they can sit us out.”

            so you’ve already given up without a fight.

          Having a roof over you head is pretty fucking important, what a stupid-ass comment.
