      Already have. Do you think it’s a singular event to attend? No, it’s many small things that eventually grow into big things if they have to.

      Look at all the flock cameras destruction. See how that’s happening cross country will minimal repercussion? People are learning they can become ungovernable.

        I hate this kind of kumbaya take. It serves to lessen the need for real action.

          On the other hand, there’s surveillance specifically for organized action while unorganized action is much harder to police.

          You’ve been trained on history books that highlight huge events, and action movies. The real world is about slow pressure over long times.

          How is people taking down cameras not action? It’s more action than posting here…

      When being lazy finally becomes too difficult

      While people are willing to pay for some poor bastard to bring a milkshake to their door in 115° heat without thinking about the slave doing their bidding just to survive, ‘Murica will keep doing what’ Murica does

      Exploiting people. Being a collective example of every single thing that people can do to treat others badly

      And they will be pissy when they are called out for it

      My guess is never, but let’s see what happens in November. Cancelling the elections or obvious tampering or outright disregard of the outcome will probably spark mass protests. Things can happen from that. There will be heavy military presence, but if millions show up… who knows? Still, we tough and independent Americans will likely just bend over and take it in the ass. It looks like the home of the brave was the easiest country for the wealthy elite to take.
