We don't need a giant act of heroism

Should we look at the claim denial rate after the United Healthcare CEO was shot and killed?

Also, supposedly it was unrelated, but did anyone noticed how trump, musk and other billionaires suddenly got on alert?

It's why they keep making super hero movies, so you don't get that idea.

The hard part about solidarity is that people need to care about their community first. Many don’t, and the feeling is mutual. That sense of alienation, loneliness, isolation is what’s really stopping meaningful progress.

It’s not specific to the US either. Many so-called developed countries around the world have it as bad or worse than the US.

You're right, it's a growing problem all over.

Its the result of individualism, reinforced by suburbia, car-dependancy and social media.

US narratives dominate the western mindset and curtail revolutionary energy by incentivising selfishness over community.

Yeah that's how every revolution has worked... Oh wait!

These people would be preaching peaceful resolution as they walk into a gas chamber.

  • and organise. otherwise it's just some small acts of kindness (which is good) bu not a revolution

I would like to mention, every time I call the White House phones, i get the disconnected message.

Trump probably didn't pay his bill.

Always has been. For those making fun of OP because "can't get it done with only peaceful means": helping someone can mean "go and beat those fuckers ~~down~~ ~~up~~ whatever"
