    Ya know eveytime I see these I wonder, “how did the Arabs do it?” They actually did something in Egypt. We can’t even agree to take the same day off.

        Significant organizational differences, as well. Egypt has a much more nationalized economy. Also, a lot of these movements are managed at the grassroots level through networks of mosques.

        Americans - particularly the terminally online liberals - hate religious organizations. They’re mostly corporate hacks or gig workers. And they think half the people in their social media channel are either cops or tankies or cops posing as tankies.

        How do you organize on those grounds?
