    I hear you, it’s been a brutal millennium so far and things look like they’ll get worse before they get better.

    We’re all powerless alone, and I don’t see us being able to stop the worst of what’s to come, but there’s pressure building against Israel, against capitalism, against conservatism, against the status quo.

    It’s going to be a rough ride but we need to stubbornly exist and be present and visible so that the pressure keeps building.

      We’re all powerless alone

      That’s the “funny” thing about it. ALONE we are powerless. The really really hard part is getting all of us together.

      Media in the past that wasn’t purely propaganda for the sake of manipulating the population would have achieved this simply by the reporting done. Now all they do is give cover to the assholes committing the atrocities across the world and we have to fight with each other just to convince people what is actually happening and why it’s bad…

      Divide and conquer works and it’s why we never seem to make progress. :(

        Together we are still powerless because of the economic guardrails and class culture

        Nah dawg, that’s like our one strength and even instinct. See Bregman’s Humankind, for example!
