I don't know very much about South Korea, but I wonder how their culture is different. Like compared to say the U.S. where it is rare for people to even engage with each other outside of work obligations.
Uh, Americans HAVE done multiple protests over the last decade BUT the MSM just quietly hides it away. Examples:
"On February 15, 2003, there was a coordinated day of protests across the world in which people in more than 600 cities expressed opposition to the imminent Iraq War. It was part of a series of protests and political events that had begun in 2002 and continued as the war took place. Social movement researchers have described the 15 February protest as "the largest protest event in human history"."
Over 10,000 people were camped at Standing Rock for over 8 months while the militarized police sprayed them with water in freezing temps, maced them over and over again, beat them, harassed them in town, used LRAD, fucked with their cellphones and shot rubber bullets and some sort of grenades at them causing serious injury to two people while completely lying about it and the media mostly ignored it.
An estimated 4.4 million people marched in a series of rallies that took place across France on 10 January (around 700 000 people) and 11 January 2015 (around 3,7 million people) against terrorism and to support the freedom of speech, after the Charlie Hebdo shooting, the Montrouge shooting, and the Porte de Vincennes siege.
We have to come together as one united citizenry. That's how we make it happen. We focus on NOT being stupid, loud, ignorant, violent rabble rousers. We don't make the protest into a fucking concert - but make it into conscientious objection by an entire mass of people.
TPTB here have us SOOOO damn divided, however, and so many of us are at each others' throats - for stupid, false, indoctrinated, brainwashed reasons of racism, etc - that it's really easy for any real concerted protest that we might try to start to get quickly divided up, broken apart, dismantled, and rendered ineffective by agent provocateurs and other cointelpro. See the Occupy Wall Street and March Against Monsanto protests.
We need to change our way of being if we have any hope of a US protest to actually work.

Pretty much every male is in the army for at least a short time, and their internet kicks ass compared to ours.

It was just twelve years ago....and they DID ignore it.
There were other protests:
170,000 Polish patriots marched through the capital to end Islamic invasion in their country.
Where Are All The Anti-War Protesters To Oppose OBAMA’S PLANS FOR SYRIA?

The Koreans are much more cohesive then their American counterparts. Mostly because of strict cultural norms and ethnic homogenity.

Why would Americans want to do that though?
