That is not the right conclusion. We don't have a protest culture or union membership to call for or protect protesters, or a centralized population and obvious protest spot. I was talking to an Argentine friend of mine about how it works in Argentina - a handful of big unions who unite and call strikes/protests including the bus drivers who bring moat people to and from work, a centralized population, and an international airport with 1 main highway that can be blocked. Not that all those things are needed to protest effectively, but America has none of that. Hell, we don't even have healthcare if we're not employed. We're kinda starting from scratch.

We've also been cursed with nuclear family structure. We have almost no support networks unless you have the money to pay for child care and the like (you don't). Capitalism has us by the balls.
