MODERATORS
If you've got kids, you can't afford to take risks that could endanger them.
If you have rent or a mortgage, you can't take time off work to organize.
If you have a full-time job, you don't have the time or energy to protest.
If you have a cell phone, they'll be waiting at your home for you and put a bag over your head.
If you have a face, they'll identify you and make you disappear.
If you have skin, they'll target you. If you have a sexuality or a disability, they'll target you. If you have complaints, they'll target you.
This is a system built from the ground up to make revolution seem impossible. This is a system that undermined education and then took advantage of learning gaps with lies crafted to keep the people fighting each other instead of up.
Make enough people believe that voting won't change anything (because they did vote last time and look what happened). Make enough people mad and scared of out-groups and then offer them salvation. Keep doing that forever.
You're calling for violence against people who have been abused and who have given up because they've been made to feel like nothing they do matters, and that whatever life they've managed to scratch together will be destroyed in front of them.
You're calling for violence against people for not magically transforming into Rambo, when they've been consistently denied the resources and the training.
I believe that the majority of Americans do want it to stop. But they're trapped in a system that takes their agency away. It's a system that is not going to be stopped. Not by them. And that's by design.
Thank you for pointing out another reason why Americans won't fight back.
They've already given up.
Freedom isn't worth the risk to them.
