We can’t count on superior
weapons
We need superior strategies
--
to develop and effectively
use
knowledge as
power.
There would be no advantage
to money
in politics if citizens did
our jobs of
self-educating, together
educating,
so we know the backgrounds,
positions,
experience and values of
candidates, ideally
chose those candidates
because we were
in the know, because we
cared to develop
the knowledge and can’t be
swayed by
slick ads, pricey
propaganda.
People don’t like to take
responsibility
We prefer to give our
responsibilities
away, and
complain
the people we gave it
to are doing it wrong.
We do not have a real
representative government
for the people who feel
powerless because we do
not do the necessary
organizing, education, adapting
and expansion, spending far
too much of our time
and energy complaining
without considering
what we can do, how we can
gather and decide
and divide the work to
find, promote, elect,
support and keep honest
real representatives.
stop abdicating democracy
in this relentless
blame/complain/skew/throw
up your hands in defeat
the REASON these people
rule against The People is
The People aren't doing our
part to self-rule!
anger wants violent, quick
solutions
better to turn to a slow
burn and fuel long-term
thinking, organizing from
where we are to how
to get to where we want to
be
overwhelming emotion,
seeming ubiquitous
attacks -- slow now,
breathe deeply, seek calm
and that wise voice of
reason, of flowing resolve,
of reaching to hold, to
find and befriend
our true home
if you abdicate your power
of self-rule you will
be ruled by the power of
the selfish -- lose the
wings and find the people
who have the abilities
and values to take back our
country
but we do need to be
realistic in such trepidatious
days and vote in the best
of who is immediately
available, and to play the
long game better than those
who have been using our
abdication against us
