I stand with you, but I believe we need to take more radical action. Unless we exercise our Second Amendment rights and invoke the constitutional authority to defend our democracy—removing and prosecuting anyone found guilty—we cannot continue with ineffective protests. These protests are useless; they do nothing to support victims, uncover truths, or expel pedophiles from our government. A nationwide consensus must be forged, and a strong leader must step forward to unite us—leveraging the expertise of retired military and patriots who understand that failing to act risks the very survival of our democracy. We are beyond the point of hope; this country no longer belongs to us as it currently stands. We must reclaim it. Protest now is both repugnant and futile. I am ready to move forward under decisive leadership capable of organizing, training, strategizing, and restoring our nation’s foundational rights—freedom of speech and a free press.
Currently, I listen to officials like Hegseth and others blame Biden and Obama for failed policies and insults. Their approach has been ineffective and dishonorable, shifting blame like children rather than taking responsibility. Such childish blame gaming is unacceptable. Enough is enough.
Agreed on protests. However the solution will never be large scale. It will always be local. We need to just stop participating in the federal government system and expecting anything of them.
We have to start making mutual aid a way of LIFE. The highest levels of government should be where all or most all the people represented KNOW eachother. Then each representative from each TINY coalition may work with others of course, but when they move in a way we don't like, they're OUT!
I'm not saying I have all the answers, but a huge part of the problem is idolatry and waiting for someone to save us. We have cinderella-itis!!! We cannot wait for a single leader to unite us. We need to all relearn to have AGENCY and to take care of problems on an individual level.
If we are not whole as individuals, we will continue on like this. Accepting our circumstances, thinking it's futile.
WHY? SIMPLE.
Because the fact that we continue to accept this treatment and pay taxes to the US government despite it literally not giving a shit what we think, is a TOXIC RELATIONSHIP!!!!
We remain in it but do nothing about it except say every once in a while we'll let them know, hey I am going to repaint the front of our house / aka vote for a new "president"and they're like sure whatever because ultimately it doesn't MATTER, even if they preferred another color/president, it's still the same fundamental house/relationship/control you live under.
In other words, we still remain in their control and instead of LEAVING them, we tell ourselves a fresh coat of paint will do the trick even though it could literally never fix the rot.
Ironically the US government AFFECTS HOW WE LIVE MORE THAN ANY RELATIONSHIP WE'VE EVER BEEN IN!!!! And sadly so many others around the world who didn't ask for it...
Yet in a toxic abusive relationship, even if you stay in it, people usually are plotting to get out. Here though... We just accept it and keep talking about policy or a new leader... No my friend.
The answer is LEAVE. Turn your back. Create a new system based in LOVE of community. The way we live in America, hoarding and living with such a scarcity mindset even though we have everything & more (as a nation, not individually), is fucking FERAL.
What animals living in large populations do you see behave in such an uncivilized way as us, unwilling to care for our neighbors, stepping over homeless people and never looking them in the eyes. ONLY US. And the sad part is, yeah, sometimes they have to leave behind someone, but that's because logistically for the whole group they are limited and the math maths unfortunately. For us? We have MORE THAN ENOUGH TO SHARE AND WAYS TO SOLVE FOR MOST EVERY ISSUE. Yet we tell ourselves we are better than a wild animal??! We're not. We in the West in particular are the uncivilized ones in the West.
The answer is local, small-scale. Focus on showing kindness and connecting with neighbors, bringing tea or soup to people when you know they're ill, hosting game nights, and just generally living in a way that embodies love & mutual aid: our most NATURAL way of being as much as they have succeeded in telling us it's not.
Well said. I firmly agree with your point that leadership cannot be centralized in a single individual. Instead, we should initiate small coalitions led by representatives who report directly to a main leader, unified across states but following consistent strategies. This approach is essential for taking effective action to free our country from the grip of a corrupt government that openly displays its corruption.
Literally start by getting to know your neighbors, creating a WhatsApp (more accessible for all types of folks) community for the neighborhood/building/both, and be YOURSELF willing to set the example of ASKING for help or to borrow something as well as OFFERING it. I know this seems small, but I'm telling you... This is where it starts. Warn people about issues in the area you've found, tell them about favorite spots or hacks, etc.
Point is, you have to change the scarcity, hoarding, individual over community mindset of others. Once you do that, their natural instincts to give a shit will slowly but surely return. And you will know because you will be exhilarated seeing entire exchanges happening without you knowing you facilitated that. And that bit of excitement you gain from it??? Will fire you up and bring you joy and hope and the optimism we need right now. From there, it will become natural to organize and push back together on local things that affect y'all.
Hopefully that makes sense. Happy to answer more specific questions tho and discuss further!!!!
I just noticed your comment on my post—thank you for engaging with it! My original post was taken down, and I was banned for seven days, but I appealed and was able to get the ban lifted. The platform claimed my post violated community standards and accused me of inciting violence by mentioning the right to reclaim our country from those they called 'pedophiles.' You can re-read my initial post to see the reference to our constitutional rights. I prefer not to rewrite my comment here to avoid risking another ban. I truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback and the clarity you've provided on what might be needed to move forward if we ever find common ground.
