Since the age of the internet, we are all publishers, each of us bears some private responsibility for the public's sense of truth.
Things that Require Our Focus (In No Specific Order):
- Genocide in Gaza
- War in Ukraine
- Fascists Paramilitary Disappearing People or Sending them to Concentration Camps
- School Shootings
- The Epstein Files
- Rising Inflation and the FED Giving Up on the Economy
- Surveillance Capitalism & the Surveillance State
- Environmental Destruction
- Militant Right Violence
- American Citizens Losing Their Rights
- Nazis, White Supremacists, and Fascists Feeling Safe and Secure in the Regime
Edit: replaced FED with Fed as it is not an abbreviation.
“In no particular order” is kind of a problem, because when you try to focus on everything, you can’t focus on anything. When everything’s a priority, nothing’s a priority.
“But everything IS a priority!!”
Everything is important but prioritized means in some kind of order. It isn’t better to get nowhere on 15 things than to get nowhere on 8 things. And neither of those is as good as getting somewhere on 2 or 3 things.
Meanwhile the right:
Trump is god-king, whatever he says we'll do in lockstep.
Agreed, but who better than to prioritize and to decide on countermeasures than all of us collectively.
first order of business, lunch. we decide better when we're full. second order of business, figuring out the list.
It would honestly be better if some clear headed leaders proposed some prioritizes for the “all of us collectively” because “all of us collectively” have a bad track record of trying to agree on and decide anything.
That would be welcomed, but we do not have that right now. Perhaps we can use this to our advantage and have collective resistance?
We don’t have leaders right now? And we’re just going to act collectively and effectively as a whole? I’m sorry. Are we talking about the same species?
Probably the best collective action to hope for is that each of us pick the one thing here that we can do the most about, and go focus only on that thing.
You seem to like this word “collective” but trying to get everyone to do everything, as one, is an absolutely fantastic plan if your ultimate goal is failure.
