Reply #55: This is exactly their strategy

Hopelessness. They don't want us to see that we have power, to know that we have power, or to exercise our own power.

The fact is that it is a very small number of people who are screwing things up, and another fairly small group that enables/protects them.

We have to think massive economic/labor action. And publicly funded elections, and an end to the electoral college.

Also, their supply of "human capital" is drying up, as they betray the young men and women who volunteered to join the military, and new recruits are hard to come by. Those who support the war won't encourage their young to fight for it, and the usual crop of disenfranchised young men have become wise to their games.

But if we are hopeless and in despair, then they have won. They will not be brought down with a mighty blow, but rather a thousand stings, just as a determined swarm of wasps could bring down a mighty bear, or the way a thousand red fire ants can crawl up your shorts and disable you completely.

If we are ants, let us be fire ants!
