    What you’re failing to understand is the USA is so gigantic that you can’t really get people that don’t have a lot of money in one spot easily. It’s costly to fly/drive to one place. Greece is tiny in comparison. We had people protesting in the millions throughout the USA this weekend but not all together in the same place as I said it’s just too damn expensive.

    Are you going to help pay to organize that sort of thing or just not think about the logistics of it all and say random things on the internet because you possibly dislike the USA or something and just felt like taking a little internet jab? USA citizens have had enough and were trying to organize everywhere we can. Greece isn’t even bigger than Texas which is just 1 of the 50 states to put it into perspective for you.

    Anyways keep it up USA I’m rooting for you guys to pull through “I have friends everywhere”

    Also here’s a tidbit of the protests this weekend https://i.imgur.com/vR41TqH.gifv

    Also fact check as of this post it was the third most attended protest in USA history https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_protests_and_demonstrations_in_the_United_States_by_size

      I don’t think that was the point. The point was that one ninth of the population was on the street. That’s over 11%.
      To be at the same scale the US being a country of ~340 millions should have a protest of almost 38 millions people.

      In smaller country people may be able to protest together more easily but usually they manifest locally, in their own town or the closest city.

      Yep, people dont think about that. Greece is the size of Alabama lol.

      USA = 9.8 million kilometers

      Greece = 132,000 kilometers
