Eh, I feel like every day there’s a new story of Tesla’s being torched. That’s a pretty directed and forceful form of protest that gets no credit.
Also, it’s not like America never has large scale protests. Hundreds of thousands of people fill the National Mall pretty regularly, skimming Wikipedia I counted 14+ since 1950 of over 200,000.
Just 5 years ago 15m-26m people participated in some especially roudy protests across all 50 states, but no credit for that either.
Large protests that get even slightly out of line in the USA usually end with:
well armed, paramilitary police violently dispersing everyone
the CIA assassinating protest leaders
and/or the 6 media conglomerates suppressing coverage at the behest of the ~15 people that own them
If you’re criticizing Americans for anything, it should be for their response to that and not their ability to organize and orchestrate protests.
