Knowing a little bit about history, not much because I am one if the so called" dumb Americans", I can say that Germany ask had a few other problems between about 1915 and 1944. World War 1 and 2.
I am sure there were plenty who stood up against Hitler and his regime. They died. The wars and terribleness of it Al happened anyways. You really think protesting and all that really does anything? Money and power is what makes change happen, it wasn't the protesters who stopped the Vietnam War. Politicians do not care about human life. It was costing money and they were not making it back from War profits anymore.
We mean nothing, we can do nothing. The greatest thing you can do for this planet is recycle and donate money to non profits, who if they are not taking a cut themselves out of the bottom line, someone else will be.

We just HAD our own revolution a few decades ago and we changed half the planet in the wake of it....(The fall of the Berlin wall and the collaps of the USSR just to be clear) NEVER AGAIN try to tell me or others that we can't change anything! It's incredibly disrespectful to someone like me, who had spend the first 13 years of his life unable to see his grandma and the other parts of his family because they happened to be on the other side of the iron curtain!
If it weren't for those millions of people rising to the streets the GDR and USSR would still exist.
(I'm the son of an eastern german refugee who grew up in western Germany, just for explanation.)
I wouldn't go that far to say you're ignorant, but being an American might surely influence your way of thinking and especially considering capitalistic measures. You guys should really get out more, see more of this planet...widen your horizon.
Again---NEVER think you can't change anything! They just WANT YOU TO BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN'T.
