      I keep seeing this sentiment and I don’t understand it. Are you speaking purely out of anger and ignorance? The recent No Kings protest was either the third or first largest protest in the history of the U.S.A. and some communities have literally been running ICE gestapo out of their towns.

      The Christian Conservative minority have gridlocked the American government, silently stacked the judicial system in their favor, and partnered with the American oligarchy to bankroll fascists and create the most pervasive, effective, and enduring propaganda machines ever seen (that’s already worked its way into Australia and had been finding footholds in Europe).

      The idea than Americans aren’t doing anything about this or that there could ever possibly be a single unified movement that magically fixes “the issue” is incoherently reductive and impractical. If I see a comrade struggling for air I don’t yell at them to just breathe. I help them remove the pig standing on their neck. What are YOU doing to lend a hand or show lost comrades that there’s still hope?

        It really sounds like you cowards are holding REALLY tightly to the same talking points- so fucking desperate not to face your inadequacy and complete lack of spine. It’s gross, honestly.

        Guess what, you’re not “one of the good ones.”

          My word Brotha… just breathe. I know you darn good well if you really, really look deep in the center of it all. I mean like seriously look deep, you and I know who really is at fault. Is it really the common folks and citizens of America? Is it really those individuals who make barely enough to get a meal on their desk, because most of the paycheck goes to rent, house payments, bills and the unnecessary bs insurances? Bro the inflation is so bad that it’s not us. It’s the elites with insane amount of wealth. Plus most of us hate every part of the leadership that runs this country. How is it the common folk’s fault when you know damn good and well that it’s the crazy orange men. And I guess that justifies my statement in saying that, “Guess what bro, you are not the good ones either.”

      They just had the largest protest in their history, have a handful of cities under military intervention to stop the protests, and are close to elect somebody that promises to fight against the federal government as mayor of their largest city.

      What exactly do you expect them to do?
