    Mostly because I’m trying to survive and get to the next day. I do not have the financial or social safety net required to do so. Really it’s the latter that is the problem. The Montgomery bus boycott lasted a year. It wasn’t a quick one and done kind of thing. As a society we are much less socially connected than we were in the past and we don’t really have other people to rely on.

    I agree with what you are saying, by not marching in the streets I am part of the problem. I don’t know man, shit is fucked. I’m doing what I can but it’s not much.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if I end up like one of the White Rose. It hasn’t even been a century since then, smh.

    Fuck

      Look i understand individual situations. But its hard for me to belive that between 300M Americans no one has a sunday off.

          One day is still better than 0 days. What you are saying is: we tried nothing and nothing worked.

          Right now they are thinking that people dont care. A massive protest would say to them that you are paying attention, and you dont like it. Also, would embolden the democrats into taking action.

          Personally, I want everyone to get off their ass, pay attention, and vote in every election.

          We should not be deciding who leads with a gun.
