There is no way we can win anything without the numbers. There is no way things are going to change without the numbers.

We can protest by the hundreds all over the country and it will not change a thing.

HOWEVER...

Five million of us standing outside the White House will. But, of course, we were not willing to actually do that because the programming worked. We are still to convinced that the world will end if we don't go to our jobs. If we don't pay out taxes. If we don't continue to support those who are slowly killing us for their own wealth and pleasure.

My favorite part of this is that we believe that we cannot gather and plan for this. We cannot form small groups that will agree not to keep on supporting this society since this society will not even listen to us. We can't do anything but be good little wage slaves and die early so that we don't impact their big, beautiful bottom line. The programming worked very well.

We have to stop letting them control the narrative. Because, they are and we are letting them. I am not just talking about social media. I am talking about it all. The completely biased coverage of this event as opposed to the recent ones involving those that the establishment considered 'the enemy' should tell one enough. The fact that our side has not taken steps to challenge this is enough. (If the corporate media is sold out, then start another media. One that will not 'sell out'. One that will not bow to capitalism and the greed in our society. Yes, this sounds pretty impossible these days, but it can be done.)

Stop supporting them. Turn to each other for support. We can hold out long enough, because those wealthy animals cannot survive without us. That is the biggest insult to our collective intelligence... that they convinced us that this is not true.

So, stop giving in to them. Get with your neighbors and friends. Those that have the property and means, start growing food for the group. Those that can, go help them. Those with skills, use them to support your local community, not the rich assholes who think they own you. Start working on the means to survive a complete shutdown. We are more able to survive such a thing. The idea that it might happen may well get enough of them out of their echo chambers to try to make things work better. (I doubt it, but I am cynical by nature.)

Because they will shut it all down just to punish us for daring to think that we were on the same level as they are. We need to be ready for that. We also need to be ready for their attempts to force us to do their bidding. We need to understand that this is not a 'political disagreement' any longer. We need to stop playing their games.

Once we have some kind of setup where we can try to survive, stop the entire thing. As I said, they will fold long before we will, at least until they decide to kill us all for daring to question them. We need to be prepared for that as well.

Such a thing is not going to be set up with that imaginary superhero 'Montage'. Hollywood has removed a lot of understanding about how long things take. We will have to do the work. We will have to make this happen. NO one is flying in to rescue us.

Either we do it regardless of how dirty it may get, or we accept that we are done and shut the hell up. Because any attempt to not correct the travesties of life that got us here is just kicking the can down the road. We have done that enough. We can fix a lot of this is we stop worrying about what they think is important and start worrying about what WE think is important. This is where we are now.

Which do you want to do?
