I agree they need something to fear. Violence is not the solution, but real consequences would be nice. Not an American either, but from here it’s like, the rich treat everyone else with such disrespect… They avoid taxes and get people murdered and fire communities of people and pollute like mofos and somehow, despite 360 million of you, they’re “untouchable”.
Words aren’t shit. They don’t listen, but actions are much louder.
Edit: I post this knowing we have the same problems here, and I’m just as passive. Too busy working and not being homeless to invest the energy to do anything. But I would join a general strike or some shit without question.
I don't know where are you from, but I'm pretty sure that if we had assault rifles at Walmart here, politicians would behave just in case. We had a magnicide attempt that got frustrated because the gun was so poor quality and unmaintained that it fucking jammed. We need to take more action, sure, but I still don't comprehend how Americans are on that level of passiveness, they literally don't do anything at all. The bravest ones go and vote, I'm baffled.
