that's not what I see in the countless threads here in Lemmy

Your sample size is Lemmy. No issue there, definitely representative of the US and its population as a whole.

Your premise is flawed and the Occupy movement demonstrates it. 5 years of sustained protesting to not achieve the kind of change you seem to expect to see.

Your under the misconception the sustained non-stop protesting is equivalent to sustained action and activism. I've already covered this and I'm not going to go over it again, I'll just copy and paste what I already wrote:

The problems in the US have been building and evolving for decades, if not longer, and they’ll take at least that long to get a handle on.

Non-stop protesting has the same hurdle as a nationwide general strike and is just as unrealistic, especially considering how long it would have to last.

Again, you're just repackaging the same bullshit sentiment as OP and all over everywhere else on Lemmy.

I'm not going to engage you any further as your agenda seems to be to argue in opposition of the movement occurring in the US.
