I don't know what it will take to make people give a shit enough that they do more than complain on a keyboard. While the pen is mightier than the sword, nothing is more powerful than protest with bodies.
We have seen it begin. Occupy started this round. They were literally beaten down. Black Lives Matter and the Ferguson groups took it up from there. Ordinary people crushed by the powers that be in unending protest. But the movement waned. While there has been some ground gained, it seems to be mostly for show, with the exception of the arrest of the murderers of Freddie Gray and Walter Scott.
We're watching people murdered on nearly a daily basis. That's only what is caught in camera. We're reading about women being jailed for controlling their bodies. The land is raped and water polluted while our food is contaminated intentionally. The world is at war in so many different ways and people are killing each other over fresh water.
The oligarchs have stolen our money, collapsed the world economy intentionally and the people who planned it are put in high ranking government offices.
Out education has been stolen, sold to the highest bidder, then controlled by the powers that be to make sure there are more Delta workers than anything else. Our unions crushed and our people villified for speaking truths.
Free speech zones are accepted. We stand in little cages to protest. Our voices drowned out. Unseen by those who are being fooled.
I could go on but I've already gone way off subject. Sorry
