The issue is not that we don’t have solutions to humanity’s problems. The issue is that people with solutions don’t have the power, and people with power too often don’t want to hear about real solutions. 1/3

At a certain point, you can’t have it both ways. You can either prioritize the survival of your democracy, species and planet, or you can allow the dictates of an unfettered capitalist economy to take priority over those things. 2/3

In theory it’s supposed to be government’s job to broker a balance between individual liberty - including economic liberty - with concern for the Common Good. In fact the former now reigns at the expense of the latter, putting humanity into a tailspin. 3/3

People with power see no financial gain in the solutions. A sick care health system. A toxic food system. Suppressed wages instead of living wages. Toxic destructive energy instead of green energy. It's a money/power struggle thing.

That's why my organization will change everything!

Blow it out your a$$, Marianne.

Work with like-minded people to implement your "solutions" that you claim are so good. Humans are good at mimicking good solutions they see work. If you think government force will make it happen, you are a shill for submission to evil ruling powers that do not care about you.

People in power feel that everything is just fine. Why wouldn't they? The status quo is serving them well. We the people only have power when we disrupt the status quo and "the powers" feel it in their goddamn wallet, the only thing they understand! Have we reached critical mass?

Do you have anything to say that is not an old and worn-out liberal media talking point? Say you will mandate the arrest of the parasites and their puppets. Say you will abolish the police and administer justice for their corruption. SO YOU WILL DO SOMETHING RIGHT FOR A CHANGE.
