I’m shocked that I haven’t seen one protest yet. Is the media suppressing them? If there aren’t any, why?

    It’s going to take a unifying event that is unifyingly abhorrent.

    Until that show drops, no movement will take enough momentum with it.

    Wait until a Mayors daughter gets sent to gitmo for protesting at college. Wait until the social security checks bounce. Wait until the next viral George Floyd police killing.

    The tension is simmering.

      I think that the thing that made the protests for George Floyd and Covid policies so widespread was people were out of work. The capitalist system has done a very good job of binding us to our jobs. we need a change that will put large amounts of people on the streets with little to lose. An economic collapse might do it.
