It’s not that they’ve better when I say them, it’s that they’re true but ultimately unimportant.

I’m not refuting its harder to protest in the US, but I am saying that it needs to be done regardless. It’s unfortunately not fair, but it is what it is.

If westerners don’t learn to overcome the obstacles in place and organize then we’re done for.

You are simply making excuses. There are sacrifices to peoples time and energy to attend a protest, that is true. They may even be a bit higher in the US.

This big problem is culture. North Americans lack the culture of protest. We’re all too wrapped up in our lives with little thought for the collective at large. We live in urban sprawls where we feel disconnected. We need to get together to change this culture or we’re going to get trampled.
