The problem is that most of us that would protest are not in a financial position to do so. If I participate in a work strike, I won’t make the money I need to pay my bills, I’ll be evicted, I’ll go hungry, I won’t be able to feed the family or the pets I will go destitute long before actual change happens. I’m not just making sacrifices, I am making that decision for my whole family. And that’s just the surface level changes. I cannot afford to leave where I am currently. I believe that is all by design and I am not even close to the minority situation.
I guess US citizens are then in a financial situation similar to what US foreign policy has encouraged in several regions of the world.
Anyone can downvote all they want, but US interventionism has had terrible consequences that most US citizens are not even aware of, yet people push back, they resist, despite much greater poverty than most people in the US have to suffer.
I’m confident that US citizens can eventually do something concrete against their most recent criminal regime, of which there have been many. We haven’t even yet seen the level of pushback that was mounted during the war on Vietnam, and armed thugs are out there killing your citizens and kidnapping people off the streets.
I just hope that pushback comes sooner than later because history shows us that people outside the US tend to suffer much more due to US policy than people inside the US.
Still, while I obviously can’t write here what I’m doing, I’m confident it qualifies as “me going first”. If we were with more people, we could do more than make the news a couple times per year.
Still waiting for US citizens to organize a nationwide strike that doesn’t end until ICE terror ends. What’s it gonna take?

Yeah, its not a viable option for everyone. Clandestine methods are an option.
In France, they light things on fire.

The system is rigged against this. The majority are 2 weeks away from lights out or kicked out.
2 weeks is probably an optimistic time frame
A huge percentage of unions in Minnesota are reporting not being able to pay rent next week.
So fight off the ones that would kick people out and replace the ones that would turn the lights off.
“Just change the whole economic and governmental system you live under”
That is the argument everytime they try to tell people not to vote. Which is not only contradictory it’s just delusional.
Yes, exactly, now you get it.
It’s either that or waiting for the fascists to murder you. So get to it.
“Just move a mountain with your hands” you first bud
I’m not American so I can’t help directly.
Still, while I obviously can’t write here what I’m doing, I’m confident it qualifies as “me going first”. If we were with more people, we could do more than make the news a couple times per year.
So… you next?
Some very good organization. That’s a lot of people which means a lot of room for error.
I agree, but if given the choice between error and fascism, I’ll take error.
Then get out there and organize. It takes you.
Thankfully, I’m not from the USA nor will I ever travel there again.
I will, however, work against the interests of its long-running bloody empire.
