1. Thank you. I believe we will save ourselves

With people like this we will not lose.

2. "No One's Going to Save the US"

True – particularly when it was us who brought this disaster upon ourselves – the frightened, ignorant, and hateful, the racists, bigots, and misogynists who voted for Trump.

3. Maybe a place to start

but only massive non cooperation and civil disobedience will have a real chance of working at this point, and it's a bit premature for them.

What will most likely happen is a clash of titans at the top. Some of them didn't move into crypto fast enough and those old boys are going to start to get hurt. They won't like it.

Once things start to destabilize at the top, it will be time to strike from the bottom. And I do mean strike. It will be ime to remind them that they need us a hell of a lot more than we need them.

4. capitalism is the problem

Social media won't help at all because it is owned and controlled by the same forces of capitalism that are the source of the problems we're facing.

6. You are exactly correct!

But, good freaking luck getting enough people to want to do something about it.

The programming is very strong when it comes to capitalism.

VERY strong.

5. Glad you shared it, but no.

She's begging for subs (at least twice) and apparently an ex-pat. Kind of a cover of Bernie. It's not that it's wrong. The hearts are in the right place. But we ain't getting out of these messes by scratching the rashes.

Imo, we're going to need to focus on what we want and need first and to the exclusion of other distractions. We would do a lot of good for the species if we rooted our political focus solely in a wise understanding of human health. Many believe our bodies and minds play a key role in how we humans interact with physical reality.
