How bad do we let things get? Should we wait until the planet can’t sustain life anymore? Should we wait until it’s 100 degrees F in the Artic? Until wildfires blanket entire continents or the last glacier is gone? Should we wait until fascist billionaires take even more from us? Until there are Flock cameras at every mail box? Maybe we should wait until the wells run dry or the tornadoes never stop. When is it going to be enough? I’m so tired of seeing things getting worse. Every. Single. Day. I’m ready. I’ve been ready. How about you?
How do we coordinate? How do we look after each other? What is the signal? If we don’t work together then we are just continuing our slow march to destruction to the drum of the parasitic billionaires. Please, for us, for the cats, the dogs, the birds and trees. The fish and the whales, the beatles and the centipedes. Please tell me it’s worth it to you, that you’re willing to get uncomfortable, that you’re willing to fight. There are more of us than them, and we are rapidly running out of time to make that mean something.
There are literally more of us than them. We could walk and crowd the capitol to force them to make a decision by striking the hell out of them.
We could be leaking corporate secrets. Feels like none of that is happening rn surprisingly. I’m talking about like Mr Incredible leaking loopholes, secrets, and all of the above.
They won’t listen until we bring the fight directly to them in their own stupid language. Just imagine. One day, KFC recipe is leaked. Next day, financial corps have their secrets leaked, and so on and so forth.
So much could be done but we’re just waiting for a new hope trope to show up and swoop in.
Kudos to you @moncharleskey@lemmy.zip for asking the right questions. I’ve been wondering when shit will finally start happening myself and I have no clue still.
“More of us than them” is a gross oversimplification of our unity.
Take here on Lemmy, for example… Lemmy’s users are almost exclusively broadly all on the “destroying the planet is bad” and “corporations are causing many problems” side, but aside from that it’s a constant, unending cesspit of purity tests and infighting.
The fact is, there’s no mass of people unified on riots because there are 8 billion of us, and we can’t even get a few million to stop using social media brainwashing tools that actively give them depression.
The billionaires are the DRIVERS of our destruction, but people are walking themselves right into it of their own free will.
We need good trouble, covering the world like the wildfires that are now a constant part of our lives. Corporate espionage may be effective for those with the connections. For the rest of is we need to be off the assembly line and in the streets.
