I keep repeating myself marches really aren’t as effective as a full throttle shut down bigger shutdown than Covid. That means the only people that report to work, policeman and medical staff, and of course, the people that run the electrical grid shut the entire country down and not for one day, three days five days with demands that DC sit up and listen And stop this insanity

Speaking truth to power.

When I have said similar thing all I get from libs is, well what do you suggest we do to save America? Um girlfriend, we are past that. We are in decline and good riddance. The first thing is divest. Take your money out of banks and move it to credit unions. If you have investments make sure they aren't funding Israel. Collaborate, trade, sustain your community be a PART of a community and serve IT rather than seeing how it serves YOU. Boycott corporations. Change your spending habits.

Sorry to say it but buy guns and learn to grow food.

As the "Theory of Change" goes - this piece resonates well. Like the writer, I've been to "rallies" ("marches") and the in-group feeling is great and all but.....well the article articulates it much better.

That said, we need to become wiser about the powers that be and how they manipulate us. https://x.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/1651987226052673536?lang=en

Even recent history - the Arab Spring, the Catalonia protest marches, Sudan - were inspiring in their time - none managed to achieve their goals. Some we know now were stage managed by imperialists - the color revolutionists in the state dept. (georgia, ukraine, now serbia)

What works then? Intelligent sabotage? Elite Defection? Slow moving Narrative change? When all else fails then what?

Still a great piece, timely.
