6. Why Can't This Happen Here?

Russians (Ukranians) are more cynical. Try convincing the Average American to even look at politics. Maybe we are just a few notches more comfortable. Not uncomfortable enough to react.

Maybe America's population centers are too spread out? Maybe the corporate establishment and it's media here are more prepared and organized against an uprising. We tried with the 99 percent but it was shut down, from the inside and the outside.

Also it's not like another country is trying to take over. Like Russia and Ukraine. It's more like the corporations are taking (have taken) over from within. How do you fight that when the average worker is not even aware of it?
