    This is the final goal post move

    Americans have been ignoring this and moving the goal post for action for about a decade and now, its finally at “there is no point anymore” completely ignoring that this very same apathybis what got you here

        Well it could have been anything before… As easily as freaking voting!

        Now you need to organise major marches and a general strike (and no, attending an AOC rally does not count)

        Short of that, any form of civil disobedience, any form of loud activism could help

          A million people showed up to protest Trump’s first term in pink hats. It didn’t work just like the million people who protested the Iraq War.

          And the first time he was elected Trump didn’t get a majority of votes, so voting doesn’t seem to work either. Hell, I’ve been voting for 25 years and things get worse every year in spite of it.

            Most people didn’t bother voting so voting, even in the backwards system of the USA, it would have worked if people cared

            A general strike has not been done or organozed in decades

            There are no easy answers anymore bud. You gius squandered all the resources and all the opportunities for decades… The options left are not the easy ones you can do evenings and weekends in between HALO matches

              Considering people don’t care enough to vote I don’t have any hope they’ll care enough to go on strike.

              I fucking hate group projects. I do everything right and the idiots who surround me negate all of it.

                Fair, I have also lost all hope

                But let’s not forget things got this bad because the People are either completely apathetic or swimming in “fuck you, got mine” attitude

                Now, there is no easy out. When the economy collapses and people are actually facing consequences, they’ll have no choice but to act. The more they wait, the harder it will be
