It is clear what you are aiming at, Gary. Your message is entirely clear and sort of indisputable. However, other than proposing (as I read it, at least) being a conscientious objector (as it is called) to fighting in evil wars, and refusing to vote, where are the ideas that might help the sheep to see what they might actually do. I am guessing that you are also proposing that we not pay our taxes to the evil regime. This has certainly been tried before (and under more benign circumstances) and it only results in people going to jail, as if this empty gesture will accomplish anything. Demonstrating in the streets against this or that is also entirely ineffectual in the current climate. The completely unified media will not cover it, or if they do, they will spin it into some nefarious context. Again you may get arrested or worse, and you will accomplish nothing. I do understand the therapeutic "cry in the wilderness" that you have been doing and you will get nothing but agreement from those who care about what is happening, but again, you are stating truths that have no message for action. We are as doomed as you are, by our inability to fight back meaningfully. Keep saying it, by all means, but perhaps, for your own sanity, don't expect too much in the way of results.

"Life is good, but the third act sucks." Sean Connery's agent when they were having lunch late in life.
"Fortune favors the bold." I've found that to be true in my life.
The analog world was an easier world to live in for those of us who love liberty. This digital world is a horror for us.
I would not reproduce if I were young in a digital world. Many today are not reproducing. Who wants a child born into slavery?
