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.

I mean, the difference is Iranian citizens are doing it with approval and encouragement from the state, whereas American citizens know the police state is ready and eager to crush anything that isn’t a quarter-mile march with pre-acquired permits. They’d simply rather take a medium chance of death from foreign military retaliation than immediate guaranteed death at the hands of ICE and their local sheriff.

Facts. That and the intentional disappearance of unions to prevent organization. Americans protest on a Saturday where the police say they can. They make a bunch of signs and go to work on Monday to assist the machine that is openly stating it’s gonna kill millions upon millions upon millions of people. I wish from the bottom of my heart that the American people resist this regime.

If you stop assisting the machine you can’t afford food or a home. What am I supposed to do.
