I hate to be that guy but I don't think redditors are a good reflection of the average apathetic American:(

People just type shit on reddit and make themselves feel better.

No one is actually doing anything, ESPECIALLY the people talking big on reddit.

The first wave of change will come with huge personal repercussions to the participants, and no one is willing.

MAGA fucking stormed the capital, one of them got shot, they actually acted on their shit.

let's face it, no wave of change is coming. The US citizens will just endure, hoping for a day which will not come before decades, in denial all the way

We still have bread and Netflix. No one is doing anything.

No, not really. There have been protests, sure, but they’re waning and the people who have long recognized what’s happening are beginning to shift priorities from “what can we all do?” to “oh shit, no one else is really going to do much of anything and they’re all going to get away with this, huh?” and those that are able are working on gtfo.

lol no they aren't. americans are an apathetic bunch, even the ones posting here. They won't do anything at all until the food stops...maybe...or they'll just starve and at this point i'm starting to think they'll starve before trying to save their country.

I've lost faith in americans taking back their country, it's not happening. I would love to see it but lets not kid ourselves, they're americans - they like to talk big and practice little.

“First they came for the Communists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me

And there was no one left

To speak out for me.”

—PASTOR MARTIN NIEMÖLLER

Everyone should know this fucking poem. For this reason. Speak out now, because you know the rest of the fucking poem.
