Acknowledging that leaving your dystopian hellhole called home is not a possibility for many people why are these people not on the streets protesting?
Diabetes care is criminal.
Maternity leave is criminal.
Labour laws are criminal.
And yet Americans writ large take it in the ass without batting an eye. Why?
Americans have been conditioned by media to think that their current state of things is desirable and even meritorious, as if having such services provided was…communist/socialist anit-american shit
What little care we can receive is contingent on having a full time job. Putting food on our tables and keeping a roof over our heads is also contingent on having a full time job, if not a second job on top of that. Everyone is working all the time. We don’t have time to go out onto the streets and protest. This is by design. This is our shitty system working exactly as it’s intended, and it’s designed to keep itself intact by forcing the people it fucks over to struggle to survive, so that we’re so preoccupied with existing that we can’t realistically enact change.
And there is much eye batting, don’t get it twisted. It’s just that batting eyes is about all we have energy for at the end of the day.
I work a salaried full time job that provides me absolutely zero health care coverage of any kind. I’m on the ultra-budget tier of healthcare.gov benefits and my taxes get brutalized every spring because I “earn too much” to be on it.
Given the opportunity I would gladly push a guillotine around town, and when that’s done I’d push it toward the state capitol and beyond. That opportunity will never come.
I would say most people, if not distracted by things, don’t want to be arrested and beat then disappeared, to also have your whole life opened up to the world and they make things up about you to make you look bad and like you’re a terrorist or something. Not to mention a lot of people are severely broke so good luck getting out there. No one here seems to care about the other person either, it’s all very individualistic by design to keep you from forming groups. Trying to convince people almost goes nowhere. It’s not like people like taking this in the ass, they’re either too stupid, too afraid, or too self absorbed if they happen to not be broke or ill. It’s a lot of factors. Sure, you could say it’s an excuse, but that is why (in my opinion) no one is seeming to do a lot. Not to mention, even if people are doing something, again, they’re either labeled as a terrorist or it’s not covered by the media at all; suppressed. Adding this as an edit: on top of all of the above mentioned stuff here, there is also no one who would try to save us or care. Our image as a nation is obviously not great everywhere else in the world. And don’t mistake it, I’m not saying the US is entitled to help from anyone else, but judging by how things have been historically, no one is going to care about us. At least not as far as most people here who can actually use their braincells will know that no one anywhere else will care and may even celebrate the downfall or just straight up ignore this.
What is the expected results of such protest the monied interests and the top half have most of the money like 88% of the wealth and closer to 100% of the liquid wealth. This money pays for the campaigns of the politicians who are beholden to it.

We’re slaves, it’s hard for slaves to liberate themselves in a police state.
I agree though, we have to fight back
