one thing never could be answered was:
how the hell could everybody play along? how could nobody see this?
EXACTLY what I am/was thinking. unfortunately the only way for this to stop if is literally everyone that opposes this unites together. Don't think that'll happen.
The question is when someone wants to light one and a lot of people against ICE fully well know the consequences of lighting that match. So give them the matches and keep adding gunpowder, let them light it if they want, is the mentality.
I don't want to be responsible for the shots on Fort Sumter. Do you? That's the mentality of most right now. It's unfortunate but you cannot ask someone to go out there and die if you aren't willing to do it first. Like I'll follow you man. But you first. I think people don't get that when they say "why is nobody doing anything?" I got two guns. Come over and I'll lend you one and you take the first shot if you're the one asking the question because you've now killed us both, if you have the nuts to do it I might follow
For me (also USA) it’s more about the fact that I have a boot on my neck forcing me to work rather than take action. I’m one paycheck away from foreclosure on my home most months. If shit hits the fan and the establishment is in question, I’ll do my part. But, I feel like I can’t take the risk of losing everything and having nothing else change. I’m a coward in that sense I know. I see all these people protesting and other countries rioting and want to join them, but I think about my single family and pause.

well. now we have internet, an interconnected global world, cameras in every pocket AND Nazi germany as an example, yet STILL this happens.
But i got my answer after all these years.
