Do you mean 'when', as opposed to 'where' in your OP?I live in one of the most important cities in North America. Every day I take the subway and work up to 12 h/day in the private industry to provide a good and a service to another human being. I come home and most days I go straight to bed to begin again next day.
Also, every day I witness masses of uneducated individuals, of all races by the way, protesting, waiting in front of the subway with posters. Today I received a good one: "Don't pay your rent", and at the bottom were instructions how to apply for the government assistance.
Where do you people have the time daily to protest ? Who pays you ? How can you make a living and constantly be on the streets ? Who is using the masses for their own benefit ?
I would urge any communist, progressive, social justice advocate to answer the above questions for my own curiosity ? or is it maybe that you can't keep up with society's demands and is easier to point the finger that is not your fault ?

In regards to the 12h days, is by choice ...
So you CHOOSE to work 12h days but you are not clear how someone who CHOOSES to work 4 hours less does not have extra 4 hours to say go to a protest?
Yes, I am not clear, that's why I asked the question. Forget the 12 h. How does someone have the time to protest after an 8 hour shift, some every day like in Portland ? When do you eat, sleep, buy groceries, talk to your kid, clean your apartment ?
Is there some secret energy drink there i can buy ?

in the personal hell you described your life as being.
Personal hell ? lol. My friend, being productive and delivering a good and service for another human being is one of the most fulfilling things you can do in life. Unless you are a communist and you want others to provide for you. "We do what we feel is important". Yes, but at who's expense ? Who is going to pay for all this, damages, unemployment ? if people would put as much effort in finding a job the way they are with "protesting" right now the world would be a better place.
Like during our Revolution or the Civil Rights era?
Yeah. It's too time consuming to demand change. Now drink your tea.
Sometimes it matters at what speed the train of progress goes by. Too much speed and the disregard of your fellow passengers might cause the train to derail.
yeah, i'm sure the little black girl that was born during slavery, lived her entire life owned by another human and died as property agrees with you.
What are you talking about ? I am talking about the status quo. This is a common tactic to avoid the point and bring up slavery, racism, discrimination, sexism. Any individual in North America has the ability through hard work to achieve success. Some, unfortunately, listen to agitators like yourself and end up with a criminal record and no future for an imaginary change.
yeah, agitators who didn't want humans to be owned by humans on American soil. agitators who don't want people treated differently, by government, in similar situations. agitators who didn't want British rule without representation.
real hardcore radical stuff.

I Wanted To Change The World
When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world.
I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation.
When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family.
Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.

Not sure if you know also, but status quo means the existing state of affairs. Slavery exists only in Africa, Middle East. In North America, last time I checked a minority became President twice.

all you're doing is complaining that people are protesting for positive change (which is a hallmark of our great nation).
i do understand that it pisses off a ton of Republicans, Q, racists and the KKK.
Typical cult mentality. What is Q ? Is hard to keep up with new terminology these days.
Change starts with the individual. As you can witness sometimes the road to hell is paved with good intentions. If you think what is happening is a "protest" then I can't help you.
Change starts with the individual.
