Did you see how the protests in support of Palestenians have been treated buy our government and universities? I’m not saying you are wrong, I’m saying that protesters were already facing being expelled from universities, fired from jobs, and/or arrested, and now we have an extremely corrupt and authoritarian government that has been elected, one with total disdain for the people’s rights. I doubt they would tolerate months long protests without bringing in the US military. Not the kind of thing to take lightly!
Trust me, it’s painful to me as well, and has been for most of my life at this point. People are an incredibly difficult species to herd it seems. Give them just a little bit to subsist with and they just… live with it. And now it looks like the powers that be have decided that we can subsist on less, and can be easily replaced with their oh so capable AIs. Time will tell how things go, but I’m seeing a lot of violence and turmoil in my country’s future because so many people remain complacent.
