I’ve seen videos of Americans grappling with this during interviews at ICE protests from this weekend. Some of them are getting pushed to their limits.
Understandably, though, people generally don’t want to hurt others. So it’s going to take a while before people start breaking down to that outcome. I think everyone just hopes something will change before push comes to shove.
TBH I was overly brief there. As things get worse and worse it seems pretty inevitable the complacency will dissipate. Unfortunately, the other half of America is onboard, more organised and has the levers of power.
The Iranian thing might not work either, depending on what the armed factions do. So far they’ve been obedient, and the latest is that they’ve forced everyone back home pretty well. It’s more that people don’t want to get hurt.
Easy, the Iranians are rising up. Here in the West we’re too comfortable to bother at the necessary scale.
Protests are happening here at scale; we just don’t tend to burn cars and throw Molotovs. Give it time.
