You might be underestimating what the US government is capable, willing, and ready to do to its own people if they legitimately threaten status quo leadership.

Okay, you are actually advocating for people to give up. This is like a cattle mindset. The elephant that no longer tries to break the twine around his neck.
Never mind the fact that, no, I’m not underestimating—do I need to remind you what your grandmothers and grandfathers bled for? Are they just better people than you?
I am American, by the way. Do not come at me with that “fuck off european” horseshit.

This implies you think I’m a collectivist. I don’t like most of my fellow Americans as I think they’re broadly backwards morons, why would I fight to help them? There are a small portion I’ve met that are OK people but most of them suck.
They procreated, they’re worse people than me for that. Among other things.
I’m not a virtue ethicist though.
Wasn’t going to. I’m not operating on “You don’t get it, its harder here.” I’m saying its functionally impossible to go from the status quo to a successful leveraged rebellion/revolution here.

That sounds like a very comforting story.
Forgive me if I don’t take protesting advice from a misanthropist.
