    People cant do anything. What actions will change things?

    You can demonstrate until you die of old age and nothing has been accomplished.

    I think the only actual change people can do is try and collect money to live somewhere else. I dont believe in talking and convincing people. I believe in direct action in your own life.

      Well Charlie Kirk has been awfully quiet and not bussing around insurrectionists to the Capitol recently. Wonder what happened there?

        It didnt create meaningful change. A person was killed. The opinions of his fans are only stronger now. So what did it accomplish, really.

        Also, the moment people split into two sides and wont listen to eachother, and starts fighting eachother, you have the setup needed for much more meaningless violence. This is where America is now. Because you have been manipulated into it.

        You can watch this video that actually explains it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azE7nqqQMmo

        Please actually watch it. This is 100% what is happening.

          Oh nah, I moved away a long time ago because I saw what would happen over a decade ago.

      The country relies on cars for everything. If you block some roads, you can halt the whole economy.

          Your mindset is why this is happening. Their propaganda has worked on you.

          Either go to protests, do something more dangerous, or shut the fuck up

      I believe in direct action in your own life.

      No wonder why the “fuck you, got mine” attitude got you here.

      PS: there isn’t really anywhere in the world that is craving to take Muricans right now… specially not ones that are not rich enough to already have an out (this sucks but money talks)…

        No not fuck you, got mine.

        Just not going to try and convince anyone before taking action in my own life. I think its a much better strategy if you actually want change.

          well I am not American so my actions are not the same as yours…

          In Spanish they have this saying “cada ladron juzga por su condicion”… which applies here. It basically means “a thief thinks everyone else is also thieving”… it says a lot more about you that your default assumption is that I do nothing even if I am calling for action

            I didnt actually write or say that you do nothing. I asked you what actions you think would work.

            Its because I have pretty much thought about all of this before. No action that I can come up with will lead to any change. But maybe you have better ideas.

              Fair, but what you wrote is kind of worse… you basically assumed nobody can do anything about this

                  I’m certain no single person can fix this… but if somehow the USA goes into a General Strike, this regime won’t last a week
