    If you dare to struggle, you dare to win! If you dare not struggle, then damn it, you don’t deserve to win! Fred Hampton

    That is the problem, americans are weak, pacified and subservient.
    Bad enough that they already resign in their ‘normal’ pathetic conditions (no healthcare, student debt,…)
    Even the current regime can’t motivat them.
    Near fascist, and still nothing happens.
    No strikes, big riots, etc…
    They have their little walks with their edgy signs, complain on social media about the bad orange man or go to their lame No Kings meetings.
    There the fake-left Uniparty politician promises to make it all better.
    You have to stay nicely between the lines, violence is bad and has no place in a democracy, simply wait a few years and vote for me next time. Trust me!
    And they do.
