all by design. Notice how the No Kings protests happen on a Saturday? you know...when the majority of people have time off work. that's the problem. When employment is tied to healthcare and the fact you can't take time off from it to, like, take back your country combined with many states being at will employment states....yeah it's all by design to prevent the mass populace from rebelling.
For these protests to REALLY be effective they need to jam up downtown cores at 8am on a weekday and last throughout the day. but they never will. and if they did the turn out would be minimal. My point is you CAN peacefully protest but when it's on a weekend then no one cares. you're not hindering anything.
Part of the reason why the protests in 2020 were so big and lasted so long was because if quarantine. A lot of people got laid off. They didn't have jobs to go to, so there was nothing stopping them from protesting.
When the AI bubble bursts and the recession/depression goes full swing with mass layoffs, I think we'll see more protests that last weeks or months at a time...
That right there is a big fucking part of why I feel such a deep sense of ennui about the likely outcome of any protests, and any impact it might have on our political system. So much money and effort and time has been exerted to convert the American economic system into a neofeudal serfdom that it’s going to take a genuine catastrophe for anything to change meaningfully - and by change meaningfully, I mean “reverse wealth disparity and rampant corporatism”.
...yet.
