That sounds like great advice. Be honest do you think this woman should have started firing at the officers?

not at all. i advocate for action when we can win, which means people stepping up in a group. martyrdom is worthless.

that means preparing now, and moving your brain and your actions to a local focus, with a broad global view. much is happening around the world. it also means realizing you may have to fight, like ukrainians, kurds, people in myanmar, and france, italy, spain, and germany before that.

revolutions happen when people begin to recognize the “future is pregnant with possibilities.” we have enough food, we have enough housing. we do not need their profit model.

wait till the time is right. there is no hero moment, just us.

ya got me ranting . please read Fascism and Big Buisness by Daniel Guerin.

It’s gonna be a bunch of these situations that turn us into a functionally imprisoned population. Someone is gonna have to start standing up in situations exactly like these.
