  • Bullshit, our insane technological advancement in the last few generations gives us comfort. Imagine the good we could do with this tech if we lived in a equitable and sustainable way. Instead, the vast majority of this benefit is captured by the respective 1%ers of various nations.

    I liked your paragraph on focusing on building something better that will draw people in.

    When Occupy was huge, I had wished they had not focused so heavily on camping in parks and instead bought cheap land in the middle of nowhere and built “Occupy town”. Somewhere people can come and join the movement with their family and not worry about living in a tent.

    Make our own jobs in federated worker co-ops like Mondragon, our own community defense organizations, our own public housing, our own city government. If we had picked a state like Wyoming, it would only take about 15k people from each state to move there to take over the entire state government.

    I get people were trying to do that in every park and also stay visible in the media, but I felt like it was just to limiting to stay in such locations.
