Everything U Need....

Maybe the biggest question progressives ask themselves while also failing to deal with whatever answers they come up with, is what is it that prevents many people from exercising their moral prerogative or the dissonance between what they see happening in the world and what they feel should be changed.
Most people feel powerless when it comes to making real social, cultural, or even personal change in their lives.
Two simple examples are riding a bike and eating healthy. Those two examples are practically revolutionary in a society dependent on cars, lack of space and time, and the devastating effects is produced in a society that entices one to eat "filler" food, food that essentially has no nutritional value at all. The rise of type two diabetes, and other world wide food and water based issues, is tantamount to a pandemic.
No, im not going to get into all the overriding and coinciding factors of why we are where we are, but if people rode bikes instead of their cars to go short distances and bought nutritional, natural food for thier diet, we'd be on our way to changing from a system reliant on rampant brainwashing consumerism to politicking essential services. Cars will eventually become obsolete but before they do, the entire road/transportation/car infrastructure will be more and more unusable.
Just yesterday one lone car with one crazy driver who refused to surrender shut down busy I-80 in both directions for several hours, this in addition to normal heavy traffic all day long in urban areas.
There's an old saying -you're within walking distance from everything you need. Or everything you need is within walking distance from HERE. Or right now.

Stop Standing Around

Stop Standing Around Here we are. We, the american people get to play the german people, get to dress up our consciousness for genocide denial. Are there even words strong enough, we've spent our collective hubris already. Some 13 or so saudi terrorists crashed planes into the towers, the pentagon, a field in pennsylvania and the people of afghanistan paid the price, the people of iraq were thrown in for good measure and last week america threw in with the twisted dictatorial netanyahu. America is Revenge. Saudi Arabia never saw a bomb, a plane, tank, had its water shut off, its food supply, its white flowing robe empire stripped clean. This week we supported and encouraged the wrong nation to do what it has wanted since 1948. The arabs knew it in 1967 and 1973, that the zionists have eyed the entire region. The Zionist are not the Taliban nor Hamas, though they are not any more exemplary. Their treatment of women is just as foul, their egalitarianism still bound by prejudices form

Conversation and Change #4 by Kraig Scwartz History of World Social Forum

                              World Social Forum   After the Cold War ended neoliberal capitalism , no longer fettered by the Soviet Union, expanded to all parts of the world.   Whether it be farmland in Ethiopia, or the fisheries of our great ocenas, the world increasingly came under the control of unbridled “free market” capitalism and the corporations that serve and benefit from those markets.   Under the sway of neoliberalism, governments deregulated their economies, cut back or eliminated social spending,   pushed aside labor unions and promoted “free trade.” Perhaps the major economic hallmark of this post Cold War era was the expansion of world trade through the WTO, NAFTA and other regional trade organizations.  The yearly World Economic Forum held at Davos, Switzerland embraced the  world-wide neoliberal capitalist order.  Yet,  strong resistance to this push for the commodification of the world emerged in various parts of the world, most notably by the indigenous  Zapatis

Don't Obey, Resist

  Don't Obey   It’s the people who obey the orders who scare me Not the ones who give them, those you can ignore. It’s the obedient, whose conscience is devoid of reasoning. For when consent is based on authority alone Freedom and true democracy cannot reign, REAL Democracy is merely giving temporary consent, each time, Not relegating power, forever
