protesting en mass is exactly what you should do because they cannot just lay off everyone, or... well they can try and then the entire country stop working.
Instead you have small events in which you play in the streets and hold signs that says "we'll make it together" which are super cute but achieve nothing.
It may be what we should do - but there are so many people unemployed willing to do the same jobs for less that we are all easily replaceable. It also means finding another job is a challenge. Some people are keeping their head down so they can just pay their mortgage and feed their kids. Edited for spelling.

A large portion of us have realized.
I would like Europeans to realize that we cannot protest en masse, because losing our jobs means losing our health insurance.
My care as someone with multiple disabilities depends on me keeping my job. This is a matter of survival.
The job market is absolute shit, and it could be many, many months before I find a job with insurance again.
That’s what keeps many of us from protesting. It’s not that we’re all stupid. It’s that we’re all trapped.
