MODERATORS
It's the very individualistic nature of USians. Another common thing is to emphasize how big USA is. (It's SO BIG did you know??)
Oh, I understand the ideology behind it, but this is extremely specific. Responding directly to a call for collective organization and an understanding of collective action with "so you want me to do this all by myself?" is particularly strange. It's a complete non-sequitur and they all have very similar wordings. I have a feeling this is being repeated from somewhere.
it's "by myself" because there's no mass organizing already. if there is no collective then obviously i'm expected to found the vanguard in my area somehow despite lacking any means, ability, or opportunity to do that.
There’s famously never been a revolution in a large country
Electoral politics is uniquely adapted to the consumerist thought pattern
It's big, but there are far fewer geographical distinctions than you might think. Urban areas across the country are more alike than not and rural places are effectively homogeneous in anywhere with a white supermajority.
There are some local concerns, but for the most part, the entire country is tuned into the same nationally syndicated brainworms. A big part of our job is to elevate and address these local concerns over whatever Fox News and MSNBCNN are crying about today.
i don't think that's about geographical distinctions, it's about the fact that the WHCD assassin had to spend hundreds of dollars to get to his target and most people can't go to shit if they need three days off work and $700
nah that one is real sometimes. if all the 50501 dorks could afford to go to DC they'd get much more done, even if by accident, and you can't really compare us to more compact countries where meaningful numbers of people can actually gather in one place.
100 people in a thousand cities each is nothing. even if only half of them can make it, 50,000 people in one place is way more valuable.
The Palestine protests, especially early on, had estimates that were putting us at ~150k in attendance. The streets of DC were flooded.
There was a complete loop spanning multiple blocks around the white house.
Every news article listed it as "thousands in attendance".
Thats if they even reported it lol
yeah that was definitely suppressed in the media.
it's weird how it's both a threat so they don't cover it, but it isn't a threat so no capitulations are made.
