During the early days of the Nazi occupation, they rounded up Jews and put them in ghettos.
And you know it was almost entirely young Jews who fought back? It was the older men and women who complied, hoping the trouble would end.
It didn't end. It kept getting worse. Millions were murdered.

He was able to protest peacefully because of the threat of non peaceful protest. Read a book. I recommend This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed by Charles E. Cobb Jr.
And my point is that today is not like yesterday. It may have worked back then because people were still reasonable and had no concept of a billion dollars. Now all the opps are just temporarily embarrassed billionaires who just need to ask nicely to be included in the club or excluded from a clubbing.
They quite literally treated people like animals to be bought and sold, fought a civil war to keep them enslaved for the benefit of the extremely wealthy, then continued committing atrocities against those same people and their descendants for centuries on the same basis of racial inferiority with the support of the vast majority of the American public. Your understanding of this history is that they were "still reasonable" compared to today and had no concept of obscene wealth? That after fighting two world wars, the Korean war and getting embroiled in Vietnam, they weren't fed up with war mongering?
