Can’t organize revolution if you’re all burnt out just trying to survive. Though Americans could probably all stop working for a week or two and end all of this, half of you hates the other half so you’d never band together and support each other for something as little as… Freedom?

Most of use majority even think of taking two weeks off with no pay would end up homeless. Hell even with a job that did give me 3 weeks a year only allowed use for 1 week at a time.

Take that and how huge this country is compared to say France hard to organize. Also they keep us separated and polarized against each other. By race, politics, and class. We spend to much time end fighting each other then working together.

One reason they are trying lockdown the internet. And social media is the also terrible for us they keep us in bubbles.

Those barriers didn't stop us back in the early 1900s when workers literally went to war with the state for the rights to unionize.

That's why it is paramount to organize your communities to counteract the polarization of said communities by outside forces. No one said it is going to be easy, but it is absolutely necessary
