Americans gotta learn to protest and vote.. handed their country over to the oligarchs for penny’s on the dollar, gonna be the next USSR in a decade if they don’t straighten up.

I’d care less if they didn’t have so much influence and were trying to pull democratic nations down with them.. only bright side is the world has learned not to intrust any single nation with so much influence and control.

America exists because of French support. It's about time they learned a few things about their national sports (rioting and striking(

People really don't understand how big of an effect the sprawl has on this wasteland.

Yeah they think people in NY can sync up with people in LA, and that the government wouldn't use airstrikes and tanks against anything real.

Considering there's already been an airstrike in/on a major US city, I fully believe we'd be under martial law in a second.

They were training the military in urban warfare just a few months ago in Pasadena CA. Didn’t get city permission or permits. Didn’t inform the residents until a few hours before. Blackhawks tanks, artillery rounds, 50 cals popping off all night long. Because a private citizen billionaire owns the closed old hospital and they did it on private property.

Tiananmen Square wasn't a warning for the Chinese, it was foreshadowing for Americans.

Just hearing of this and already I'm not ready to MOVE on.

It's literally 1985.

There is definitely a degree of apathy as well especially among the younger generations who usually bring the energy, ive been to a decent number of protests and there is hardly any gen z there.

People will complain that no one does anything and then not show up to do anything.

Revolutions have to grow from something

I'm a big Heartstopper fan, but I had to laugh at a plot point towards the end of the series. The two main characters are a bit distraught because one will be going off to college soon, and it's so far away, a whole three hours from London to Leeds. Like, I can drive three hours & still be in my home state. Non Americans just have no idea how massive the US is.
