They are in a better place than us to fight. Americans by and large are very comfy with thier lifestyle. They also have enormous personal responsibilities to debtors. So they must work and not make too much noise. Slaves working in sweatshops get paid pennies so there really isn't any incentive towards being civil. If they band together and revolt that's the only way anything will change. Why are there so many martyrs? They have nothing to loose and everything to gain. Freedom comes at a very high price.

"Slave working in sweatshops get paid pennies so there really isn't any incentive towards being civil"
how dumb are you?
a) in the relative local economy those few pennies have the
same worth as the $50/hr or whatever people here get paid
so losing a days or weeks pay to protest can be crippling
b) usually there is just as fierce competition for the jobs as
there is anywhere and less stringent labour laws so that if
you cause any trouble you are out
c) the compnanies can afford to bribe/influence local law
enforcement and politicians to make sure that their corporate
interests are protected OVER those of the workers.
check labour history and place most of the developing world
as still living in the 1800's have you ever read any Charles
Dickens?
