By doing what?
And "Americans" you mean all 341 million people? All agreeing to do the same thing? Like your statement is so meaningless to the point of stupidity
It's like saying "we could end global warmong if only Africans did something about it*
Not all 341 million are required, but other than that, yes, successful protests and other forms of resistance have always been about people "all agreeing to do the same thing."
History is your friend here.
Yeah, actually. If even a tenth of that number went out protesting tomorrow, we might actually be able to challenge this shit.
But we got work tomorrow so 🤷🏼♂️
Your right, everyone should just keep waiting for someone else to fix this for them.
thats where the complacency and content-ness comes from.
I know, which is why Americans are fucked. They don't even have a shared history, let alone reality or morals. I mean, most Americans don't know about how the police dropped bombs on Philadelphia in 1985, let alone even protest or start a riot over it. 341 million Americans agreed not to riot over that one.
I also struggle to see how "Africans are to blame for global warming" the same way Americans are to blame for their own countrymen's actions.
EDIT - Just to add, I find it intriguing that you're so quick to blame Africans for the sake of a strawman argument. Not a good look, kinda looks American.
additionally there have been consistent anti-prostest propaganda for years after the 90s. most people whine about being inconvenienced by protests.
