Seriously. Start now, today. Don't wait for an organization. Just fucking do it. I have no idea how long I've advocated this, whether here on DU or elsewhere. and I've accompanied that advocacy with the lament that too many Americans are still too damn comfortable to be able to do without. Skip the effing Starbucks. Skip the McDonalds. SACRIFICE. If you don't actually SACRIFICE, it's meaningless. Real people are being hurt by this shit, and have been for years. Oh, but now it might hurt YOU, so now YOU're going to do something?
It's time for our side to step up and face down the leopards that are eating EVERYONE's faces.
You, or you, or you, or you could be out of a job tomorrow. You, or you, or you, or you could lose your Social Security benefits tomorrow. Are you even remotely prepared for that? Or have you been saying, "Well, I didn't vote for the leopards eating people's faces party"? That's not going to stop them from eating your face, too.
The warnings are out there now that we could be headed for a 💩 recession. What happens if that becomes a Depression? No one dares use that "D" word any more than they dare use the other one, "Dictatorship." Don't want to go all hyperbolic and scare the common folk now, do we.
