Something that South Korea has that the US does not is a national capital that’s also a megacity. That puts the US at a huge disadvantage when there’s a need to mobilize urgent mass protests.

Distance plus infinitesimal amounts of paid time off make such gatherings a significant burden on Americans.

@noleli Not only is this a problem, but I don’t think Americans have the wherewithal to shutdown a city.

General strike? Man, I got bills.

@jonathankoren absolutely. And sometimes I think about how I, someone with a good amount of privilege, could make it to DC without being tracked. Flying is out. Getting a burner phone and driving, avoiding toll roads, but what to do about license plate scanners. I think it’s impossible, which is scary.

@noleli Doing something isn’t “easy”, but it’s easier. It’s the getaway that’s hard.

@noleli I think the mindset is, you just have to go on with total commitment. It’s not going to matter when you win.
