“but what are you doing, hero?”
The war cry of the complacent, docile and subservient American.

We don’t need heroes. we need people who shop up regularly. And many of them.

Therein lies your problem. I can show up for a weekend. I can show up for several weekends, in fact. I can’t sit in a protest for two weeks, because I have a job I need to keep in order to eat food and own a home.
As the economy collapses further more and more people will become available for the sort of protest required of them, because they will no longer have job responsibilities. Or food. Possibly including me.
Until that time, I will be making efforts to keep my job.

Absolutely correct. Everyone’s quick to criticize the method of resistance as the problem when they’re completely missing the point that a national response of 5M out of a nation of 340M will change nothing.
We need to engage the disengaged, not fight over the content of the protest.
