Americans used to understand it, too. The 1960s Civil Rights movement was driven by some of the poorest people in the country, organizing together and developing mutual aid networks. And they didn’t get ignored like these bullshit No Kings protests because they actually inconvenienced the ownership class by cutting into their bottom line.
Amazing what 60 years of capitalist propaganda and brainwashing will do to people. It’s like they have this unary thinking now, and believe that there’s one and only one option - go to work and obey their capitalist overlords, the same ones that are ruining the country.
They have already given up before they even tried to do anything. And they won’t try to do anything as long as they’re receiving paychecks.
Capitalist propaganda is so deeply ingrained that they believe money is everything, money can achieve anything, money is the most important thing in this life, and they must keep making money no matter what. Even if bombs were dropping in their yards, American priority is to make money above all else.

… and here we are

In America money is literally lifeblood: even the homeless still have jobs, but are too poor to afford housing/safety/medical care
