I'm not even in the USA and that's not the case here.
Yes, but this is very different from saying it didn't change anything. It evidently has. We're not pretending this is the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, the flashpoint of a new era. No, this is one of the small little steps where organizing becomes more viable, when the """public debate""" shifts from 'is it ok to punch nazis?' to 'is it ok to assassinate the worst capitalists?'. For many, it's provided a real window into the corporate mass media's alienation from the people on the ground.
