I have a son with pretty severe autism, he can’t look after himself. I’m sure everyone else has similar stories :(
And you’ve just stumbled across the exact problem: People in America are kept juuuust comfortable enough to feel like they’d have a lot to lose.
The complete lack of any kind of safety nets means the vast majority of Americans can’t afford to rebel, because they still have to put food on the table in the meantime. And they can’t take time off work (or risk losing their job entirely by getting arrested) to go burn down a government building.
Then maybe don’t use the term “we” if you’re not going to be participating in the risky part.

No, I have no right to ask others to do what I can’t do. All I ask is that people try to build community and solidarity, that is just as important.
Ahh yes the solidarity of doing nothing but smugly maintaining that you totally would.
It doesn’t matter if I would or not, and I never said it did or that I would. I doubt a soccer mom with a 338 is going to succeed anyway. Building community is the only path out of this.
By that you mean you’re willing for other people to risk life and limb for your beliefs, while you’re willing to risk a slight ouchie when you cut the oranges for half-time?
No?
