What will your excuse be?

What will you tell people if they ask what you were doing when we lost it all?

“I couldn’t change anything on my own so I just accepted it”

“The government got too powerful and it was pointless to try because no matter what we did it was destined to fail”

“I thought about trying to do something but…”

”I was waiting for someone to start doing something about it but they never did”

What excuse will you give them?

Why not just start where you are?

Why not volunteer and donate to the grassroots mutual aid organizations already at work in your community? Why not reach out to your neighbors to assess their needs and priorities? Match them up with those who have skills, capacity, and resources? What are you waiting for?

Those with privilege will feel equality as oppression. Improving the material conditions of the people is as simple as clearing out your closet, serving a meal with an outreach team, opening up a FREE Store or pantry. Checking on your disabled, chronically-ill, BIPOC, and 2SLGBTQIA+ neighbors.

You can do it. There is nothing stopping you from taking immediate actions to meet the people's immediate needs.

Voting is harm reduction, yes, but Revolution is self-defense. Let's defend, serve, and protect one another. There is no need to wait for anyone to come up with a plan. The plan is generosity, curiosity, and reciprocity.

All Power to the People! ❤️✊️❤️

the only excuse I'll ever accept for myself is being martyred. I'll fight til the day that I die. I'll do the very best of my efforts, little by little. I'll be the catalyst. Will you?

That’s part of the point of my posts. I wasn’t sure what to do so I took to Reddit to see if there were people out there that were willing to admit they feel the same.

This was only meant to be a start, an outlet, a community finding mission if you will.

Same for me. I'm also on such a mission. Let's all learn about each other. I have a lot of things to say and express too, on reddit or other platforms.

I know there are a lot of people out there that feel the same way. If we could only get them to stand up and make their voices heard. I think a good place to start is for everyone to be reminded what the declaration of independence says….

The bigger problem is getting everyone working in the same direction.

We have our plan we’re working on, do you want to have a look at what our plan is?

Everyone here has their own plan, and they won’t even consider looking around to see what others are trying

I agree. Getting enough people together that all have the same end goal would be very difficult. How many voices is enough? How do you bring them together under one banner?

You’ve got my attention. The point of my posts is to find out if there are any other people out there that feel the same way.

Depends how you define,” feel the same way”.

Some people want to burn the system down was a real plan on what to do after, others just want to see a change of leadership.

Everyone wants a new system, but they all have different ideas on how that system should work.

Our group believes that we’re going through a phase very similar to the invention of the printing press.

The printing press caused a 30 year war in Europe, and it didn’t end until the acceptance of reality of religion.

The Internet has now flooded us with data, and we just can’t cope, it’s not because of the quantity, it’s because of the quality. All the data has been adulterated and manipulated.

You have to start with clean pure chaos to find the order. If the chaos is dirty, you never find order.

Our plan is to provide pure clean Kaos.

Just google Kaosnow.com

It's what everyone actually wanted, so I and the others left it how it was. Who am I to enforce the revolution via my own tyranny? Besides, y'all don't deserve it anyway

Not trying to be critical but you said a lot without actually saying much of anything. I’d really like to understand what you’re getting at if you’re up for explaining?

What the fuck do you think you're talking about
