I mean, the American people do outnumber those who are corrupt. Just saying.

Do we outnumber the conservatives who support their cult to the bitter end and own guns though?

From what I've noticed, the problem lays in the fact that over years the powers that be have stripped away much of the agency we had over our own lives, under the guise of convenience, efficiency, connectivity, and progress, to divide and conquer for increased wealth and power.

Us common folk need that agency again if there's any hope to fight back and take down the cult and their masters. To do that however, the people need to feel that something worth fighting for exists; something tangible at the community level that personal investment of one's time and resources can be seen and experienced beneficially; something that people can fall back on; something that can provide relative protection against the whims of bosses and landlords demanding fealty; something people know they can rely on, instead of the impersonal promises of for-profit entities and their lapdog governments.

Collecting a bunch of valuable information on organizing and action from different redditors over time, I created a post of suggestions HERE that could possibly prove to be of some help in getting it started ASAP.
