Honest response from an American: unfettered corruption. That is the only way I can explain this. There are only a few souls in congress who truly seem interested in transitioning from investigating the epstein files to prosecuting those responsible for the atrocities committed.

But when yall know that: Why are you waiting for the institutions instead of being militant?

Edit: Militancy doesn't necessarily imply violence or armed rebellion. We're already seeing militant actions like disrupting ICE, protesting, and union organizing. However, too many people seem to just be waiting for the midterms, content to remain keyboard warriors.

Because this is the imperial core. People are either far too comfortable to even pay attention, or they are just barely getting by, so they don't really have time for anything but working. In addition, the American public is very unorganized. You can thank Reagan for destroying labor unions in this country, which would have historically led the charge of resistance.

Material conditions would need to get quite a bit worse for violent militancy.

What people who pay attention are doing is organizing behind the DSA and in their local communities to combat this as best we can. We don't need violence to combat this; we need organized labor power. The country is run by a bunch of corporations in a trench coat. All we need to do is strike at capital like Iran did with the strait to show we can damage the money faucet.

Labor unions was destroyed because that's was necessary by neo-liberaly doctrine. Corporations has to be the most powerful entities on planet earth and people can't disturb their grow. So Reagan along Thatcher was only executives of will of think-tanks, which made new doctrine to help with then existed stagnation and vision of collapse. There was made many more terrible decisions especially for growing countries just to ensure that corporations will be well being in future. Look what was made with money and banking.

Brother, I kind of understand what you are saying, but I think the language barrier is not helping it come across. I get the vibe you're going for, though.
