1/ The radicalism of the American ideal is that here would be a place where anyone could have the chance to manifest their God-given potential. We’ve never fully embodied that ideal, but many at great personal sacrifice have pushed it forward and in various ways we’ve succeeded.

2/ Too many losing sight of that ideal & disconnecting from personal responsibility for furthering it, has left us vulnerable to all the undemocratic forces that abound today. Reclaiming the ideal in our own hearts is fuel for pushing back powerfully against those who threaten it

3/ When we’re only serving ourselves we’re not as powerful as when we’re serving something bigger. The journey of the US - a struggle it embodies between the worst & best of human nature - is a continuing ribbon of history that stops at every generation’s door. It’s at ours now

4/ We have ancestors who murdered & enslaved, and we also have ancestors who were liberators & paved blazing trails for those who came after. We’re at a dangerous choice point & it’s ours to decide now: the path of an authoritarian nightmare or a path of America rebuilt & reborn.

How about we build better systems that humans live through? Systems not designed around money. @ZeitgeistFilm is 20 times smarter than you. In fact, you are simply the indoctrination of money. You are more harmful than good and sad that you cannot see it. Make environment King

Wonderfully written ... the struggle is both in the microcosm of our daily lives ... and the macrocosm of this country and this planet ... and how we respect and care for them.

And given our Judeo-Christian heritage & its Prophets’ heraldry that “the Arc of History bends toward Justice,” #WeThePeople must reject fascistic manipulation (viz: #IgnoranceIsStrength ref. Orwell’s 1984) & embrace Holy Scripture’s #GodIsLove & “Ye Shall Know (freeing) Truth.”
