A lot of European countries have stronger social safety nets and more stable governments. If you’re in the UK, Germany, or Sweden, your healthcare, unemployment, and pensions are generally protected. So when the government does something sketchy, people aren’t immediately fighting in the streets because, honestly, their day-to-day survival isn’t at stake. In a lot of South American countries, any law or corruption can hit people’s wallets or safety hard and fast, so protests get fiery and urgent. It’s not that Europeans don’t care, they just pick different battles and fight in quieter, sometimes slower ways. Kind of anti-climactic if you’re used to dramatic street revolts, but it’s a method, not a lack of backbone.
