    The biggest hurdle to starting any sort of revolution or meaningful societal change in the US is finding leadership willing to risk having a target on their backs to rally the masses to action. Anyone willing to be the first to step up will be harassed, pursued, abused, and potentially killed.

      There are plenty of leaders to follow, plenty of groups to join, plenty of events to attend.

      This type of information isn’t broadcast on the local news. You have to go looking for like-minded people.

        Dunno your country, but if you’re not from the US, the people that say those jingoistic celebrations of the country are the most right wing of us. I live in a very heavily right wing state and patriotism is laid on so fucking thick because if somehow people were to take off the patriotism glasses they’d figure out they’re getting robbed blind.
