Might be better than putting it off until the discontent grows to the point that the young generation sees it fit to kill us off or confiscate everything we have and leave us standing in breadlines and living in collectivized apartments.
- skopje 1y agoTell me what to do. I go to protests. I vote. I volunteer for Indivisible. What ELSE should I be doing?
- m0llusk 1y agoKeep the focus on the evidence and the science. We have Picketty's book on Capital, Peter Turchin's research exposing elite capture and elite overreach, and perhaps most important the experience of digging our way out of the great depression with strong regulations, high taxes, and pervasive unionization of labor. Promoting the idea that we understand what is going on, have been here before, and know ways out can be very empowering.
