    And what would you do in our position? Stop acting like the average American citizen has any control over this.

      General strike.

      I mean, you Americans love to compare yourselves with Rome, learn something from the Secessio Plebis.

      Or better, take a hint from your own previous social movements.

        General strikes don’t materialize out of nowhere and require significantly more organization and infrastructure than currently exists.

          So then what you need to do is build …what… ? Take your thought to it’s logical conclusion.

          Look, dear American people, there is no cavalry coming to save you. You have to do this. It’s your country. Build the infrastructure, build the organization.

          Start small, build up: https://youtu.be/vvaquOcNEKI
