I don't understand why people think Americans are just taking it.
Do you know how many times people protest, how many times people are beat for it? Cop city in the south, Portland, literally most colleges.
People are doing shit and it does matter. Part of the problem is acting like nobody is and making their work seem worthless
I can't speak for anyone else, but I say that Americans are just taking it because while a few thousand people here and there are protesting the wanton destruction of everything of value in their country by a handful of fucking psychopaths, the other 340-some million are just letting it happen.
It's not. if you step back there are consistent protests for BLM, March against the alt right, white supremacist shit gets chased out of Philly and Boston all the time.
It's not cool over it, people are getting pissed. It's just media doesn't benefit telling us.
The biggest reason some people don't notice or don't think anything is happening is the fact that mainstream networks and algorithms aren't showing people what's going on.
its exactly it, or the adjacent media, aka social media is downplaying it, or just treating it as a normal protest
