    My personal theory is that there is just so many people and so much land that one person can care about and that area is about the size and population of the average US state or European country. Once you get to the size of the US or China or Russia or even India it’s too big for people to care. Very few people in NYC give a shit about what is happening in LA on a day to day basis.

      I don’t know if it’s a lack of caring, but the distance certainly makes MEANINGFUL action for most Americans out of reach. Just marching in say Boulder, CO does jack shit in Washington, D.C.
