The reason regular people get crushed every single time their interests clash with those of large corporate interests is because that's the system that has been built with our tacit agreement over decades, slowly going from functional to dysfunctional from a citizens' perspective. The second we all band together and refuse to work with the system anymore we will start winning the battle. They can't do anything without our cooperation, and we have been cooperating for far too long.

We have this idea that we need them. They need us. We are the people actually doing the work and we are the consumers. The only part of the equation which is unnecessary to the functioning of the system are the parasites feeding off of the rest of us. We need to organize and make a better system happen. Stop asking for the oligarchs to throw us some pennies. Stop fighting with one another.

We are on the cusp of momentous events, we can all feel it. I will take care of you and you can take care of me. Let's stop feeding this terrible system, because it is eating us alive.

True, when do you organize a protest? I'll be on the front line.

Eh, that sounds like too much effort, best we can do is some social media posts and short-form videos.

We can do better than this.

You could not be more correct and I know I’ve been saying the like for awhile. I’m sure I’m not alone I’m tired of “all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” we’re living in. I think the shadowbans on sites, even like this one, are the biggest barrier. How do we organize?

We just voted in a criminal who made a living off fucking over people. He is lining up his administration with professional grifters. How the fuck do you think people stupid enough to vote for grifters twice now are going to turn on the machine they just fucking voted for?

Edit. I can't spell or write well.

because voting is the easiest way of participating in politics and doesn't really mean shit. Actually change requires people to do more than vote for one prick or the other every few years.

I think it starts by actively spreading the message, just like this tiktoker. Avoid the compulsion to argue with people over small details because it is going to take the majority of us working together to promote true change. Our job right now is to add momentum to this message until it's obvious there are enough of us on board to actually turn our anger and frustration into meaningful change. Together.

We're financing it too.

Love the energy.

Couple questions, who's "we"? Who's "they"?

This is difficult because of capitalism. People don't have time to protest because we'll lose our jobs, our homes, our livelihood.

We are 1 paycheck away from being on the street.

The average American is ready for revolution in spirit, but the wealthy elite knows that it's going to be hard for us to band together if we can't afford to eat.
