All throughout human history, in every part of the world, there have been revolutions, uprisings, riots, strikes and protests, not despite terrible living conditions, but because of them. Or do you imagine all these people had job security, great quality healthcare and public safety nets? Of course they didn’t, because then they wouldn’t have had to rise up.
Only in America are the bad conditions used as an excuse not to act.

yeah but all throughout human history, people have had meaningful human connections to each other. meanwhile, in the western world today, it feels like you can be accused of sexual harassment for looking at somebody too long.
“I’ve never had this problem” sounds a lot like “it works on my machine”. or “there’s not a police problem because i’ve never been targeted”. it really just means that you’re part of the favored part of society with favored traits and characteristics.
I’m a little confused. Are you saying people are not rioting because they’re scared of being accused of sexual harassment? Or do you think that sexual harassment used to be seen as something harmless and ‘meaningful?’
Do you believe that people would be more likely to act if sexual harassment was (still) accepted? I guess I just don’t get your point.
But this argument always sounds so weird to me.
