Imagine americans daring this

Did everybody forget the “All Lives Splatter” movement that became a conservative slogan a few years ago? Or Rittenhouse, or the intimidation and retaliation both at the hands of police and their militia supporters?
The left in America isn’t getting anywhere with roadblocks or national strikes because we’re not just up against bad government, we’re in a civil war with half the nation that is getting exactly what they want from their leaders, the ones who’ve proven time and again they will happily use a protest or demonstration as an excuse to harm/maim/kill and stand a good chance of getting off the hook. At a minimum running down a crowd of demonstrators will get you crowdfunded to a down payment on a home. The billionaire class can survive a strike with no noticeable impact on their day to day lives indefinitely, and as we can see with rising gas and food prices, the right will eat their personal losses if they are allowed to vent their anger on the people they already hated in the first place.
The way out of this isn’t peaceful because we didn’t end up where we’re at peacefully.
Americans are doing this, US citizens however should follow the Bolivian’s lead here and start acting the fuck up.
We've tried it a few times and the government just kills its citizens and calls them terrorists. Credit to the bolivian people but standing up to bolivian military and police is just a totally different thing than standing up to us military and police.
