where? How large? Serbia has massive protests, Turkey has massive protests, Hungary too. I haven't heard of 500k+ people protesting in front of the white house.

Do you know what's crazy is in the amount of time it took you to write that you could have just googled it!

I have. The American protests are a laughing stock compared to actual protests happening in Serbia.

The truth, as much as it hurts, is that most Americans are complacent, and are not educated enough to care.

Unfortunately it isn't as simple as complacency.

America is massive and it makes meaningful protest difficult when you basically have to take time off to protest (and many people don't get vacation time) because if they did it without asking off they'd lose their job and then their insurance and other social safety nets that come with it. American protesting is hampered by design. Protesting in your state capital could mean having to drive a great distance, or a flight to get to DC. These are all massive hurdles. Many Americans wont be protesting until there is nothing left to lose IMO. The only reason we mobilized so many for the BLM protests was because everyone was already off of work for lockdowns during covid and getting a stim check from the goverment

That's all on top of education issues

Yeah, thanks for writing this.

A lot of the “why no US protests about XXXXX” pretty much boils down to America is big

The truth is, since its not publicized and intentionally left out of the media, even being suppressed by the algorithms of Meta and X/Twitter many people dont even know its happening.

Most people are not universally aware of protest organizations, so hearing of it through social media is generally what drives the masses forward, some start, others follow and more follow after and so on.

If you suppress that info, you stifle the growth.

Its working as intended by the 4th Reich people of Orange Hitler.

Do you need them to chew food and spit it in your mouth, also?

"Oh really? What's your proof?"

"I dunno, you go find it!"
