I’m shocked that I haven’t seen one protest yet. Is the media suppressing them? If there aren’t any, why?

      But people aren’t starving, they are struggling. That’s the difference.

      They want us exhausted so we can’t protest. But they don’t want us so desperate we bring out the guillotines.

        Other countries go for a wide gap between individual load and guillotines, while the USA is actively searching for the sweet spot just before guillotines.

        I’m just saying that struggling isn’t much of an excuse. You think Egyptians weren’t struggling before the Arab Spring?

          Im afraid arab spring is something im not all that knowledgeable about so i can’t really speak to that.

          But there have been mass protests in the us and riots too. Just look no further than attacks on teslas.

          However there is also a culture of non violent protests in the us that has been taught to us throughout our lives while the truth about how that actually works and the fact non violent protests weren’t the only things happening has been surpressed unless you go researching things for yourself (or it’s our shitty education system, can’t say which for sure).
