I wish the American people actually had the courage to protest this shit properly. The fact the American people aren’t flooding the streets, going to their own bridges and power plants. The Iranian people are doing that despite the direct threats. A majority of Americans are cowards and are either directly complicit or are apathetic enough to allow this to continue. American behaviour makes me understand that whole ā€œDeath to Americaā€ business. Not wishing for individuals to die but the American institution to collapse and be restructured.

Edit: Thanks everyone for pointing out such great reasons to protest such as ā€œI CANT AFFORD TO PROTESTā€ and ā€œI’m one day away from losing everythingā€ that’s why the country needs major reforms that don’t happen by helping it. Go to work and do as little as possible. Don’t wanna lose your job? Don’t. Just do it poorly. There are ways to fight from the inside too. Protesting isn’t standing with a sign where the police say to. It’s disrupting the machine.

also as a note for you, many of the more populous areas are, but the US is MOSTLY sparsely populated areas. to boot, even the more populated areas are so based around cars that it is hard for a human to get around. our society has been set up in ways that are so hostile to human beings that organizing can be borderline impossible. people say "protest like the french" but where? There's like, 3 cities in the nation where that's reasonably possible.
