Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets in Serbia's capital Belgrade to protest state corruption and negligence under President Aleksandar Vucic after a railway station roof collapse killed 15 people last year https://reut.rs/4ks6BAL

It’s interesting how, despite tens of thousands of people protesting in Serbia, the big American “influencers” haven’t posted anything about it. Nor about the protests in Hungary. Convenient, isn’t it?
Americans must restore law and order and dignity to America. This is the dictator we're dealing with, remember, when he tries to invoke law and order to his side:
If they can achieve this behind the former ‘Iron Curtain’, then a self-proclaimed 🇺🇸 democracy should draw its conclusions.
Don’t ever take Democracy for granted.
There has not been a sufficiently shocking event to drive mass catharsis and the media ecosystem of today is actively working to prevent anything from attaining such widespread level of solidarity and action.
You have to just start protesting, rain or shine, and hope your effort inspires more.
Two protests in last two days....your point is a good one. Just had this convo with spouse. GOP has solidarity around power of the cult. What do the Dems have solidarity around? There are too many things. I can't be "we will help you not get screwed". That didn't work.
I just shared a YouTube video of a guy calling for a mass protest, it’s on my feed, sorry don’t know how to directly link it to you 😊 he makes a lot of sense
100%. Too many cowboy movies and superheroes. The individual saviour meme has been burned into the US by capitalists since Ayn Rand. It was broken then and now it’s broken completely.
Most of the 1st worlds working class is in much better positions financially than US. They get healthcare and vacations.
The US working class is no more than wage slaves that lose ground daily.
It has been so long since Americans had to fight on home soil, for freedom, they are soft and complacent.
Currently, shell-shocked in the main, after being sucker punched by Trump, they can't galvanise a revolt.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
They just don’t have a history of revolting and consequently standing up for their own future.
Together for ourselves.
Yep. I've revolted a few times, but too young to remember Vietnam. I think we've been tricked into believing that voting is standing up for our future. Or that our amazing fucking soldiers fighting all over is us standing up collectively. But that's not really true. I don't like how that feels.
People died on the battlefield in WW11 to allow future generations to vote.
The current generation of dullard America's are throwing that right away. The only way democracy works for all is if everyone votes.
Make voting compulsory, so even donkey voters have to get off their arses & vote.
I am all for compulsory voting in Canada too. Our voter turnout isn't much higher than yours. We also need electoral reform to get rid of our first-past-the-post system and adopt proportional representation.

They understand the basic truth so many folks around the world already know:

My opinion is that we need to adopt the values of equality and prosperity for all, no one left behind, and rally around that.
