    I think people in America are at just the right amount of comfortable to want to protest but afraid of losing the life they have to oppression they may face for participating in the protest. Most people who aren’t minorities are not directly facing the governments oppression until recently when they started shooting white people, so they can limit themselves to posting hashtags and strongly worded comments online, but active disobedience could cost them their job and thus access to semi affordable healthcare and the ability to pay their bills and debts. Aka its the system working as designed to keep the masses complacent, it will take actual starvation and deprivation to happen to the majority for them to fully participate in fighting the system
