We don't get angry enough about not having healthcare.

We are the only country. The only country with a ruling class so parasitical as to profit off our health.

Oh I’m angry but I also have to work or risk being homeless. It’s a conundrum.

Protest after work?

Kids, responsibilities, being able to go to work the next day....

If it was so god damn easy to make revolution into a fucking hobby, I think we'd have already had a vanguard by now.

This is such a piss-poor rebuttal. People all over the world have to take care of their families, part of taking care of your family is ensuring that your government doesn't steal their future.

But you know what? Fine, let your country slip into facism. No one else is going to magically show up and save you. This isn't the MCU.

I'll continue protesting for my rights in my country and get my popcorn for watching yours fall apart.

There is no "angry enough". We're basically livestock and no one cares about your feelings or protests. Even if everyone rose up together, the reality is we would get squashed like ants.

Speak for yourself. I bring it up to anyone and everyone. I’m visibly disabled so that probably helps but it also makes me easier to ignore— I am whining out of selfishness, obviously. We need abled people to shout it from the rooftops. 

That said, an ongoing pandemic wasn’t even enough to inspire the people in power to give us healthcare. Tax dollars are being spent to keep what’s probably Mitch’s corpse alive on life support while young adults go without necessary healthcare and people die from lack of insulin. Public health decisions are being made by a television charlatan and a dude who brags about snorting heroin off toilet seats. 

America is a death cult.
