1/ Our society is experiencing a whole systems breakdown that demands a whole systems response. We’re stuck in an endless round of whack-a-mole, an exhausting exercise constantly fighting off madness when what democracy should be is the collective pursuit of solutions & progress.

2/ A system where profit for a few is society’s bottom line is inherently at odds with democracy. The idea of trickle down economics has attached itself like a parasite to our democracy & continues to leech its life force. It’s not 1 thing that’s the problem; it’s the whole thing

3/ An awakening among people that societal change is even possible is always prerequisite to political evolution. In the words of Thomas Paine, “A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right.” Something is wrong; we can make it right.

Partisan politics are not collective. Biden promised Unity.

Removal of the profit motive is a must, otherwise, nothing changes, no matter how many bandaids you slap on the hull of the sinking Titanic. #DirectDemocracy #GiftEconomy

If we persist with economies based on exchange rather than gift we will always end up doing variations of the same old shit! How about trying #ResourceBasedEconomy @tzmglobal thezeitgeistmovement.com

What we need is to start building down instead of up.

In such perilous times it is natural for people to cling to the familiar and the "normal" The systems work needed will be totally disruptive to all norms. Degrowth takes away the promise of the economy, regeneration requires responsibility and work. Change, sadly needs pain
