Historically, Americans have been quite disruptive of the Status quo, the Iraq war, I think was the first war where protests started before the war even started. How often in a Imperialist empire is a war stopped due a large part to civil unrest at home against the war. Has that ever happend in any European imperialist country? Nope.

So the idea that somehow Americans are the complacent people I don't buy it. Considering the wealth of America and their status as a world power, they are pretty active.

You cannot expect everyone to be an Anarchist. You work with what you have.

And seriously, think of the situation. Your a dude with a job, and a family, you live relatively comfortably, but thats not guarnateed, stuff is going on in the world, but why should you care? Its not like you can change it, you gotta keep your job, and your house, your only motivation is moral indignation, but remember, you live in a society where Capitalism and the State are pretty much omnipotent.

To me the fact that Americans do care as much as they do is supprising. Its up to us to expose as much as we can the real problem.
