#oneMillionRising Zoom is maxed out at 20K, it’s streaming at a bunch of other places. Super-encouraging turnout. Also odd for there to be no Gov opposition to this e-gathering. Hopefully it is just authoritarian incompetence.

On the #OneMillionRising Zoom call and this is such key training for how to fight authoritarians - I so want the US to be yet another example of civil resistance turns this around and results in a stronger democracy (we will need the Restoration Amendments to the constitution - money is not speech, corporations are not persons, etc.)

@DemocracyMattersALot On the #onemillionrising call, #teslatakedown is highlighted as an exemplar of successful strategic non-cooperation. Got to keep up the pressure!

@hstone519 I suspect their idea is that they can't win against China so they want to create Fortress North America which can withstand China with the rest of the world abandoned

@hstone519 You can also replace "China" with "Climate Change" and the statement holds

@jon_giraffe @hstone519 As if North America has it’s own separate climate from the rest of the world. 😐

@hstone519 Bingo.

And it's not like the US couldn't compete and prevail, but looting is so much easier.

@ferricoxide @hstone519 At this point with an entrenched wealth and capitalist system, our economy is sinking. Disenfranchisement by the overlords, call it looting, is viewed as the only viable option. The entrenched powers will never voluntarily give up their wealth to fix our society. Social unrest has been building for 40 years. Look for a breaking point when cities start unraveling. I’m not about to say this will happen tomorrow, but there’s a clear trend.

@Huntn00 @hstone519

I probably should have said "could have competed". Instead, the "investor" class saw Enron as the basis for an economy and everything became about easy, short term wealth multipliers rather than building to ensure a lifetime income. But, innovation is a lot harder than criming, so here we are.

@ferricoxide @hstone519 We are very susceptible to selfishness and cheating to win. It’s our burden to overcome.

@hstone519 the ship was not sinking before Trump. He is sinking the ship with his crew of saboteurs.

@HumainVirtuel @hstone519 Actually, the ship was sinking. Before there were holes we could plug. Now we have a lunatic who’s gleefully chopping chunks out of the hull, with the idea that the ship sitting on the bottom is what a ‘Great’ America used to be. Only a squirming brain with a death wish along with his cult could think of this in positive terms, as if somehow, they are personally immune, and that only their adversaries will be vanquished. 🤔

@hstone519 Yeah the plan hasn't really changed.

#alttext : "socmed post by @Karl_Was_Right
'The US ruling class has effectively given up on competing with China and is just trying to loot as much as they can from everyone else while the ship sinks'"

@hstone519 Looting is proceeding full bore, while it’s fully expected the sheep will be spending their time fighting each other over the few blades of remaining grass while they’re busily being sheared. 😳

@hstone519 Some have already moved to China because we regulate them too much. They say things like, "Why should the people have political power?" and, "People need to get over their fear of dictators."
