Exactly the problem unfortunately. It's extremely demoralizing. I'm still proud, like I said the largest protest in our history, I've never seen more Americans this motivated before, but I hope the organizers plan to do something. They don't care about protests. They just let them go knowing everyone will go back to work the next morning. However, if they go too far the propaganda machine will simply pick up and say whatever it needs to and people eat it up happily. My uncle steadfastly believes that the majority of protesters are in fact "paid actors". Millions of paid actors. Billions of dollars spent on it obviously.

That makes sense, they seemed mad for about a day about the gas prices and now I guess they just grabbed a bottle of lube instead of demanding it stop.

Meanwhile I actually know personally TWO people who went out and bought EVs! In car centric transit deserts where they have to drive. Both had some form of "I've been debating a new car for a while and this made my decision not to use gas". So a very thin silver lining that people are at least thinking about it.

Yeah, all these Americans were just minding their own business, basing their whole economy on pillaging oil from any part of the world they can, doing nothing wrong of course though.

So innocent, just driving around in their pickup trucks blasting propaganda from their radios, then rushing home to watch more on their television.

Can't we just leave the Americans alone so they can pretend they aren't the shittiest group of people on earth?
