 Likely are unsure what they could even do. Similarly, when the Senator said, "some crypto bros think we print money from thin air. So what if we do print money, we're the US government". Implying the plebs can't do anything. 🫠 
 I also think most people don’t want to engage in the kind of violence the situation now calls for.

The past apathy that brought us to this impasse was really just procrastination. Now, we are put in the unenviable position to contemplate actions we never would have imagined had we taken effective nonviolent actions in the past. I sure af don’t want to engage in that. 
 I truly believe if we can:  

1. Get enough people in the USA to not go to work for a few days it can shut down the stock market. 📈  

2. Have it coincide with a walk on Washington DC with speakers at various places. 

This would take planning, more oversight & fledged out & I don’t know how to do it. 
 It would require waking up two groups of people who don’t realize the bigger threat are the ones telling them the other group doesn’t like them.

 Agreed and you said it best.
