The raging lunacy of neoliberalism did not fill everyone's minds by tip toeing. It was a violent mind fuck that keeps pile driving its hate muscle into our subconscious minds and leaves its sick seed wherever it goes.

A metronome like, trance inducing scarcity machine that renders us impotent to hyperinflation phobias and petrodollar fear porn

The defeatism is by design and the balkanized scapegoating is a feature, not a bug.

To defeat that... we have to acknowledge that.

I am an activist. I am free from the political strictures and able to speak truthfully.

Politicians have a different role..
They have different rules.
Different games and hoops to jump through.

Activists have a role to play.

Activists must be aware that the politicians are not doing the same job we are. So stop depending on them.

Our movement goes on even if not a single politician is on our team.

We must fight for the right things no matter who we have to oppose.

Activists have to deal with trolls and the uneducated just like politicians... the difference is that we do not have to get elected by uneducated, economically illiterate people. They do. We have to educate ignorant people. We have to wake them up.

Politicians will do what must be done once we have done our jobs.

The vast majority of populist beliefs are based in myths and legends.

We have our work cut out for us.

And no one said defeating neoliberalism would be easy.

Defeating neoliberalism will be the hardest job any of us have ever undertaken... but if we do not. We will be destroyed.
