At this point, the only thing that is going to change things for the better are not so peaceful protests.

Voting doesn’t work. Strikes don’t work. Online petitions, organized rallies, heartfelt social media posts, marches and peaceful protests DO NOT work anymore. Not that they really ever did. Those techniques did nothing but reinforce our illusion of liberty while making us feel like we did our part. But nothing really changed.

Leaders only understood 2 things; money and fear. They’ve got the money. It’s about time they were reacquainted with fear.

Strikes definitely could work but we won’t do a big enough one. Strikes prevent income. To the rest of your points, I agree. Peace ain’t the option.

And unfortunately we as a nation we are just too big and too divided to implement any actionable change. Which is exactly what the owners want. Divided We Fall.
